    I thought trackback is good. this means that people are linking to your site. I usually don't allow it as a comment because some people just spam and want more links pointing to their site but having your site pointed from theirs is pretty good I guess.

    Its not really an issue but you can toggle them off in the same spot where you would disallow comments.

    Hi Nigel

    I search about it. I found that it can be off (trackback) like comments either wholly for the blogs or the single posts.

    Hi, its basically just someone making a blog post and referencing your blog post. Its a non issue really. You may want to follow them to see if its spam but typically its just someone talking about your post, hence a good thing.
