A trackback is a form of “blog conversation” that links two or more relevant blog entries together.A trackback URL is that someone posts a link to your site on your site. Instead, they have posted a link to your site on your site and have copied an article written.
One blogger writes an article that references or is relevant to another blog’s article and fills
out the trackback section. When the blogger publishes the article the blog leaves a trackback
on the other blog’s article, which usually appears in the comments area as a truncated summary with a link.

Way to Create a Trackback
If your blog and the blog which you want to link to using a trackback are both hosted through Wordpress, you can simply include your link as you normally would in your post, and a trackback will automatically be sent to the other blog. If you and the other blogger use different blogging platforms, you'll need to obtain the trackback URL (or permalink) from the other blog post. Typically, this can be found at the end of the post (possibly through a link called 'Trackback URL' or 'Permalink'). Keep in mind, not all blogs allow trackbacks, so it's possible you may not be able to find a trackback link on some blog posts.
That's it! Trackbacks provide a courtesy tap on the shoulder and self promotion all rolled into one.
Get Traffic from Trackback
If you trackback someone else’s blog post you are leaving a link that points back to your blog. Someone who reads the blog article may click through from the link and visit your blog.
You can also increase your traffic through trackback to your older post from newer post.
