what is Trackback?

I know what most of the options when I post a message are for, sure seems to be a lot of them, but I have no idea what Trackback is for. Can you please explain it or link me to a faq somewhere?

Hi Alfred,

Here is a good resource for reading up on what a trackback is: Trackback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is the definition:

TrackBack is a type of peer-to-peer communication system that was designed to send notification of updates between two Web sites via a Trackback Ping. Ping in reference to TrackBack refers to a small message sent from one Web server to another. TrackBacks are useful for informing a Web site that you have referenced its Web site within your own Web site, and is popular with bloggers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting!
