Are you confused about what a trackback is? This tutorial eliminates any confusion you may have in regards to trackbacks and how to make use of it from your WordPress dashboard. Trackbacks help you build traffic, and are a great tool for a blogger to make use of.
If you leave a trackback to another blog, your trackback shows up as a comment on the blog you sent the trackback to, if the blogmaster of that blog approves your trackback to show up on their blog. As you have guessed by now, leaving trackbacks can generate more traffic to your blogs.
