n. A blog feature that allows visitors to notify you and your readers that they’ve responded to your blog entry on their own blog. Introduced by Six Apart in 2002, a trackback link consists of a unique trackback URL and a mechanism that allows one blog to ping another, providing notification of the cross-linking.
