Hmm... probably I'm stupid, but both of Trackback and Pingback pages shows these like pingback would be an alternative trackback, which nobody uses.

Isn't pingback used mainly for blog-aggregators ang -searchsystems like Technorati and so on?

Do they have a trackback too?

I don't think so

But I think there are more clever guys than me to figure this out

[edit] Tidying up

There are three types of Linkbacks - Pingbacks, Refbacks, and Trackbacks. Here in Wikipedia, only two were referenced, and there was no article for Linkbacks in General. I created an additional article to represent all three, added some missing material for the two that were in existence, and created the parent article, Linkback.

I propose that we merge Pingback, Refback, and Trackback into a Linkback article, with redirects from each to the Linkback article.

[edit] Can someone explain WHY pingbacks are less prone to spam?

I see it mentioned that pingbacks are less prone to spam then trackbacks. Can anyone explain why please? --24.180.103.242 22:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
