The membership of the Open Trackback Alliance commit to creating one open post per week on their respective blogs for others to link to. The trackback creates a link to the originating blog that accomplishes two things:
[1] The link counts as an outbound link to the originating blog that helps raise the originator within the blogging ecosystem, sort of a leg up for new blogs.
[2] As the OTA is generally made up of blogs with a relatively decent standing in the ecosystem, and have fairly stable readerships, the link gives the originating blog an audience they may not otherwise have access to.
