[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.

I vote NO on this one. Bobmutch 5:02, 03 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Outbound Link

This link is giving a mySQL error. Href cloud is an experiment site of the refBack method

[edit] Trackback

This article talks about RefBacks and then goes on to talk about Trackbacks.

This article is basically incorrect because it is a direct copy/paste of trackback

I tried to describe refbacks. No citations, though, sorry. Wanted to add a "Usage" something about how good they are for discovering del.icio.us tags or technorati or other social bookmarking information. Hope it helps! Mogsie 21:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
