Trackback is a way for bloggers to link to related content.
According to Wikipedia a trackback
allows a blogger to see who has seen the original post and has written another entry concerning it. The system works by sending a ‘ping’ between the blogs, and therefore providing the alert.
A trackback can also be a great free marketing tool.
Trackback is a powerful way to get content recognition from search bots crawling the rich blog link structures, it is a great way to alert others to your content as well as receive notice when other bloggers are referencing you.
From “How To Blog For Fun & Profit” See their video guide on how to understand trackbacks.
