Trackbacks are automatically generated when you link to a blog that allows them. It isn't a choice of that particular blogger; it's just their choice to allow trackbacks or not as a whole on the blog.

@TiTi

I just wanted to know more about trackbacks, I did some reading but am still a bit confused as to how it works. And I guess I wanted some insight. I didn't post it to upset or offend anyone...I apologize it was not appropriate to post here, or anywhere for that matter. Are trackbacks just acknowledgements?

Hi All!

I was going through my referrer log just now, and discovered someone made their way from copyblogger by way of a trackback to my blog. I followed the link to copyblogger and found two trackbacks linking to posts on my blog.
I just curious how they found a way to list 2 trackbacks to my blog, I'm flattered someone could go to such an authoritative site and make their to my humble efforts at Blogging Perspectives Daily. Should I be flattered or is it just
copybloggers way of acknowledging the fact that I acknowledged them in my post?
