    LinkBacks - LinkBack is a generalized term used to reference 3 seperate methods of communication between Websites.
    A Trackback is simply an acknowledgment. This acknowledgment is sent via a network signal (ping) from Site A (originator) to Site B (receptor). The receptor often publishes a link back to the originator indicating its worthiness.
    Trackback requires both, Site A and Site B to be Trackback enabled in order to establish this communication. Trackback does not require for Site A to phisically link to Site B.
    Why use LinkBacks? (Trackbacks, Pingbacks and Refbacks) Because they allow you to notify another site that you have written something related to what is already written on a specific page. This improves the chances of contributors to this page noticing that you gave them credit for something, or that you have improved or added to what they wrote. Websites are interconnected. Think of them as references at the end of an academic paper; or a chapter in a textbook.
    Linkbacks have long been a major force in the development of the blogging network world by creating an interconnected series of blogs and posts acknowledging one another. Not only does this improve the general community enviornment throughout the blog-sphere, but it helps to make blogs much more powerful link-building tools.
    Links built via this method are highly relevant and don't have any of the disadvantages generally associated with those crappy old "link farms" or "link exchange programs" which are useless.
    The LinkBack principle has moved on from blogs to other publishing platforms like news content systems and forums. ARefback is also a link. However in this case, Site A (the link originator) does not need to "tell" anything to Site B (receptor). Instead, the receptor Site finds this link immediately after the first web visitor gets to the site by clicking on the link. This is done by analyzing information carried by this visitor's browser referer header.

    {If any body knows here how to increase the ranking of web site through link exchange protocol, he will be wellcomed to share it, }
