1. Why

Trackbacks are simply signals sent out to other blogs telling them that there is information on another blog page related to one of their blog entries.

It's just another way to get backlinks to your pages.

Trackbacks help get you deeper backlinks to pages and increases your potential rankings in the SERPS.

Most trackback tools are automatic unlike blog comments.

The better mass trackback tools conduct a live search for trackback url's containing your keyword so that the link is targeted to your niche.

If you make your query specific enough and put a nice twist and some thought in the comment, trackbacks still work fine. Just be careful to use proxies or different IPs.

As an extra protection to yourself, you are much better off using free subdomains until you know what you are doing.
