I was just wondering if anyone knows what Pingback>>Blog Archive<< means? I seem to see it sometimes in the comments of the Blogs. I know I sound stupid but I would like to know what the meaning is and who sends it. Thanks for any comments and answers I get.

Hi Sandy, that is a great question! A pingback is when another blogger links to one of your posts; it creates a pingback in your comments to let you know. Ideally, this is good because it means others are liking what they are reading on your blog enough to mention it on their blogs. It is considered a nod of approval. However, sometimes splogs (spam blogs) link to your posts, which isn't desirable. Hope that helps. Great question! I'll cover it in more depth in a future Blogging 101 post. Blog on!
