1. What exactly is a trackback?
2, What is an RSS feed and how do you use it on your site?

Trackbacks: I will give you a real life example.
Go to
this entry on Mate-Find
If you scroll down to the comments you will see that this comment is actually the beginning of the post I made
here.
The concept being that search engines like blogs not only for their text, but for their activity.
So, by my making a trackback to Mate-Find, I have not only given her a recip link, but given activity to her and me.
RSS feed: RSS is Really Simple Syndication.
If a surfer has an RSS reader installed on his pc, and he likes your blog, he can add the feed to his reader so he can read your blog from his pc without having to actually come to your site.
I have taken it to the next level by installing the
RSS Equalizer which allows me to provide headlines from other blogs to mine (changes with every page refresh) thus increasing the text and activity on my blog.
Hope that helps a little.
