Do your trackbacks display before your comments?

Since learning that comments can be separated from pingbacks/trackbacks, many bloggers have adopted the format. However, there are some blogs which put the pingbacks/trackbacks before the comments and if you run a popular blog, this can be a pain for your readers who wish to leave their own thoughts.

Pingbacks and trackbacks reference your idea elsewhere, however, comments continue the conversation directly on your site, therefore they should receive priority. Don’t make your readers scroll for eons just to see that conversation.

Take a moment to make the switch if you find that your pingbacks/trackbacks are being displayed before your comments.
