Default Trackback ? What's a trackback?

Just noticed that there is apparently a new item in the 'Post' pages or have I just ignored it for the past 2 years.

What is a trackback?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I think it is new, because I just noticed it yesterday. I have no idea what it is though. I'm going to give it a try…

I don't see anything different about my last post with a trackback to one of my other most visited sites: HuskerMax - " Everything you ever wanted to know about the Huskers"

A quick little google search revealed this:

Trackback requires both, Site A and Site B to be Trackback enabled in order to establish this communication. Trackback does not require for Site A to phisically link to Site B.

if another site links to your post/thread and tells this site about it (automatically via software), the software running this site might display a link to the other site as a trackback.

it's done under the premise of sending visitors between the sites, but in reality it's usually more about search engine optimization.
