    I Discovered this on the forums last night, and I have seen elements pertaining to this on my wordpress set-up for my websites, and i had disabled them at the time because i had no idea what it was, and it was one of those things that i never got back around to researching.

    Since my AM websites are in a blog based format, could anyone tell me the pros and cons of enabling these, as i'm still not 100% on what they will do practically. I'm more worried that it will just result in alot of low-quality spam links being attached to my site.

    Also, on a sidenote, The RSS data on my site contains a few outdated links for pages that no longer exist, and these are showing up as crawler errors still, anyway of regenerating an RSS,a s i feel these may negatively affect my rankings.

    Cheers in advance

    Trackbacks are a legacy of the original wordpress set up (when it was purely a blogging platform) and they have no real benefit other than, as you have said, a way to get a load of spam pointing at you - which you don't really want to be linking back to.

    With the rss thing I found that setting up a feedburner account solved a lot of problems - you do need to go through all the settings though to get it working properly - which is a bit of pain really.
