Paragraph 1 doesn't make sense to me and sounds spammy or blackhat maybe. You'd never want to bookmark in every cat, only ones that really apply. Not sure how you'd ping from that site cuz don't know what it is.
The only time you use a trackback is on your own blog if you reference someone else's blog post. When you link to their post and then add the trackback URL to the trackback section in Wordpress, it lets them know you quoted or mentioned their post and normally adds YOUR link to their comments section. Sometimes people have to approve trackbacks to be sure it's not trackback spam, so you don't always get the linkback to your blog instantly.
So it's like carrying on a conversation in a way. Every time I link to someone's blog post on my blog or even here at the forum I do a trackback. Then the readers of that blog post will see a link in the comments back here and know we started a conversation about it over here and may follow the link to us.

"Trackback helps you to notify another author that you wrote something related to what he had written on his blog, even if you don't have an explicit link to his article. This improves the chances of the other author sitting up and noticing that you gave him credit for something, or that you improved upon something he wrote, or something similar. With pingback and trackback, blogs are interconnected. Think of them as the equivalents of acknowledgements and references at the end of an academic paper, or a chapter in a textbook."
