When another website links to a Harnesslink article, a snippet of their content and a link back to their site will appear under the Harnesslink article.

In other words, when someone links to a Harnesslink story, the Harnesslink story links back to them.

Trackbacks are a way of informing website owners and visitors that the story is being talked about online so that they can read what others have to say.
