Answers.Text: A checksum link is a special, individualized link to your website.  When a recipient clicks on the link they are effectively temporarily logged into the system as a user - so CiviCRM knows who they are, name, address, memberships, etc.  See http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Tokens for more.
