What is a pingback?
-
I noticed someone put a pingback or something like that as a comment. Can someone help me to understand what that is?
The blog I need help with is ilikelanguages.wordpress.com.
When another blogger backlinks to one of your posts in a post of their own there’s a pingback sent. When you backlink to an earlier post in your own blog in a new post a pingback is sent.

So basically, a backlink means they mention you in their post and they are putting a link to your blog where they mentioned you?

A backlink is not a mention. It’s a link and links are the currency of the blogosphere.
