    As I understand it a track back is where one website tells your website that there is a link placed on it. I find this useful as I can then take that trackback location and give it a little boost by pinging it and maybe building a few backlinks to that link location which points to your website.

    Its basically a notification that another website has placed a link to your website

    A trackback is one of three types of link back methods for website authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking to their articles. Some weblog software, such as WordPress, Drupal, and Movable Type, supports automatic ping backs where all the links in a published article can be pinged when the article is published. The term is used colloquially for any kind of link back. If your blog and the blog you want to link to using a trackback are both hosted through Wordpress, you can simply include your link as you normally would in your post, and a trackback will automatically be sent to the other blog. If you and the other blogger use different blogging platforms, you'll need to obtain the trackback URL (or permalink) from the other blog post. Typically, this can be found at the end of the post (possibly through a link called 'Trackback URL' or 'Permalink'). Keep in mind, not all blogs allow trackbacks, so it's possible you may not be able to find a trackback link on some blog posts.

    Once you have the trackback URL from the blog post you want to send a trackback link to, copy that URL into the 'Trackbacks' section of your original blog post. When you publish your blog post, the trackback link will automatically be sent to the other blog. Some bloggers hold all comments (including trackbacks) for moderation, so it's possible your trackback link may not appear on the other blogger's post immediately.

    You can easily use trackback in blog or sites. Here i define some step about it. Type up the detail you desire to split with your readers. In the trackback field on your blog's entrance page, enter in the URL of the article you are orientation. An extract of your own entrance will be generating in the unique article's posts along with your entrance URL.

    Trackback is a type of “blog conversation” that links two or more related blog entries together. One blogger writes an article that is related to another blog’s article and fills out the trackback section.

    It's a way to links your post from another site. Keep the track back as it's. Allow visitors to trackback your articles.
