That one gives you an <em>estimate</em> of how many links point to your domain. Mine reads "1K". I know my site has been live since January, and I know what I've been doing in terms of link building, hence my comment. Pingbacks only work with posts, and even then someone needs to 'ping' in the first place. You won't get a pingback when someone links to Sharingthejourney.co.uk. That button on the toolbar will show you how many of those you have. (The button next to it shows how many links point to the page you are on.)

I've linked to Randi, for example, but she doesn't get pingbacks. Other folk have linked to me and I've only found out by chance, even though my pingback system is activated. .-= janice´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Sharingthejourneycouk/~3/zSXcssL_5FA/" rel="nofollow">How to Breathe Life Into Your Writing</a> =-.

If in doubt, go with the title of the page. Or ask the author what link text they prefer, the Law of Reciprocity states they are more likely to return the favour :) Hehe. :)

Are you saying that when we link to another person's site, we should be careful which part we are attaching the link to? So in my following example, B is better than A? A. Check out this week's Writer Dad [Writer Dad underlined and linked] for a great Father's Day poem. B. Check out this week's Writer Dad for a great Father's Day poem [Father's Day poem underlined and linked.] B is better than A because more people will search for "Father's Day poem" than for "Writer Dad?" Or am I totally off the mark? Or off the Marc? :) .-= Randi´s last blog ..<a href="http://foreignquang.blogspot.com/2009/07/ken-and-pen-youre-it.html" rel="nofollow">Ken and Pen----You're it!</a> =-.
