Editing Trackback (section)

==Spam==
{{main|Sping}}
Some individuals or companies have abused the TrackBack feature to insert [[Link spam|spam links]] on some blogs.  This is similar to [[spam in blogs|comment spam]] but avoids some of the safeguards designed to stop the latter practice.  As a result, TrackBack [[spam filter]]s similar to those implemented against comment spam now exist in many weblog publishing systems. Many blogs have stopped using trackbacks because dealing with spam became too much of a burden.{{citation needed|date=September 2011}}
