Written by Ritesh Kawadkar at The windows Club (http://www.thewindowsclub.com/about-twc-contributor-ritesh-kawadkar), gives a quick tip on how to remove all trackbacks from WordPress installatio (full article at http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-delete-all-trackbacks-from-your-wordpress-blog).
“[...] A trackback is one of three types of linkbacks, methods for Web authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking, and so referring, to their articles. If you have a WordPress blog than you have probably seen your trackbacks getting mixed with your comments. Most of the WordPress templates now provide functionality to show trackbacks separately from you real comments while others don’t. [...]”
The solution is quite simple and consists in “[...] go to Dashboard > Settings > Discussion and Turn Off “Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”.
It’ s a question of personal taste and abitude. For me it’s not a problem the “normal” use of trackbacks.
