Apparantly vBSEO are in the process of implementing a Pingback and Trackback feature into their code, whereby each thread and post is assigned a specific trackback URL and this can be used by blogs (and hopefully forums soon) alike to make use of their already implemented pingback and trackback functions.
What are your thoughts of implementing Pingback and Trackback functionality into vBulletin? Do you think it will actually work? Here is a quick
vBSEO published FAQ on the Pingback and Trackback process.
EDIT: If there is an issue with the origin of this thread as a discussion of the commercial modification vBSEO then try to think of it as the discussion of the implemention of pingbacks and trackbacks into vBulletin generally.
