As per my knowledge social bookmarking trackback URL is the simple way to reach our website in case of not opening the main URL. Track Back URL is different than the regular permanent link URL.

Sorry morganlong, but that's not correct :(

It's often beneficial to know all of the different places on the web where a particular article is being referenced. For example, suppose you read an article in the New York Times online. It might be interesting to easily find all of the other articles on the web that are quoting that NYT article. This is accomplished through linkbacks.

Trackbacks are a type of linkback. News Site #1 provides a trackback URL for each article that it publishes. When News Site #2 writes an article that references the News Site #1 article, they ping the trackback URL for News Site #1, to alert them that they are linking to / mentioning / quoting the article.

Is track back URL is count spam according to pengiun or not?

Member Avatar for Dani

Track back URLs have nothing to do with the Penguin algorithm. They simply help article authors keep track of where there are backlinks to their articles, as Smith Jones pointed out. They aren't actually a form of backlinks themselves.

Hi,
A Trackback is simply an acknowledgment. This acknowledgment is sent via a network signal (ping) from Site A (originator) to Site B (receptor). The receptor often publishes a link back to the originator indicating its worthiness.

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.

trackback is just to let you know the post or link you're following, I think :).

As I know, In social bookmarking trackback url is the technique to make our sites in case of not starting the major url. This url is dissimilar than the normal stable url. Using trackback, you can routinely notify a further blog about your new entry and a link to your entry will appear in that blog's list of trackback pings.
