Allowing pings on my site

  • https://img209.imageshack.us/img209/6865/pingof2.png

    Almost every day i add a new post to my site and every day i do not tick the ping check box.

    Can you explain what happen if i tick that check box?

    I never understood it, and even if i read a lot of post about pingback and trackback, i have still not understand what it exactly does!

    Please tell me what is the difference between pingback and trackback, and to what that check box is related to?

    Thank you in advance… and sorry for my bad english!

    Pingback lets you notify the author of an article if you link to his article (article on a blog, of course). If the links you include in an article you write on a blog lead to a blog which is pingback-enabled, then the author of that blog gets a notification in the form of a pingback that you linked to his article.

    Trackback helps you to notify another author that you wrote something related to what he had written on his blog, even if you don’t have an explicit link to his article. This improves the chances of the other author sitting up and noticing that you gave him credit for something, or that you improved upon something he wrote, or something similar. With pingback and trackback, blogs are interconnected. Think of them as the equivalents of acknowledgements and references at the end of an academic paper, or a chapter in a textbook.

    So, if i tick the Ping check box, my site will be pingback/trackback-enabled. Right?

    just for that post
