What's the "Trackback" underneath message text field

[Jian Lin]

I am a forum newbie. When I post my first question here, I noticed the "Send Trackbacks to (Separate multiple URLs with spaces) " underneath the message field. Can anyone tell me what is that means? Should I add my blog url there? Thank you very much

Trackback:

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.

Step by Step: How to Use Trackbacks:

Since I was new to the use of trackbacks & pingbacks, it took me a few weeks to really understand the concept and how to best implement it. Seems like every tutorial that I read was confusing so I came up with my own version to educate my forum members. Just 4 steps that even newbies should be able to understand.

So, no you should not add your blog url there.
