  Are you sure you're using trackbacks and not pingbacks?

  Hi, Daniel! I'm sorry I'm not good at using trackbacks actually. Could you please tell me the difference between trackbacks and pingbacks? Thanks!

  Nope.. not sure.
  
  However, according to the link below, I guess what we are doing is
  pingbacks. I will update my post with a full trackback.

  The server at tamba2 (see link in my other comment) helpfully allows people to test trackbacks and pingbacks from their demo WP install. I sent a few out from this link, and I also used one of my articles to send that article a trackback to their trackback URL. My trackback to them was logged successfully, their trackbacks to two of my articles either failed or did not show up in Disqus.

  Thanks for the info. We're still working out the issue.

  Well, it looks like your site pinged mine just fine -- but either ignored the custom trackback URL or Disqus hasn't registered it yet, because, as you can see below, only recorded in one place.

  Ok, I give up. I changed the trackback URL on this article, and now I'm not getting ANY trackbacks! Argh.

  I was trying to send trackbacks to Disqus from my site & it was failing (WordPress, self hosted), but when I captured the post request that was being sent by my site & pasted that into Fiddler & recreated the request it worked fine. Now that was truly odd
