Hi there is something I am failing to understand. When I log into any of my sites the first thing you see is the recent comments and the incoming links sections telling you how many comments and how many incoming links that you have. But what is the difference between comments and links?

The reason I don’t understand is I have submitted an artcle to lots of article directories and these links are showing in the comments section but surely they should be showing in the incoming links section?

I have nothing showing in the incoming links even though I have these links from the article directories and have incoming links from all my other sites? Why do they not show?

These are pingbacks. Because they are post-specific, they’re listed with your comments.

Thanks for reply. So this is basically telling me that people have been linking to my articles and not to my wordpress blog? I think this is where I am getting confused.

Also I am trying to create an opt in box in my left sidebar underneath a vertical revolving carousel widget that shows other products. I have the following code from total business cart but I am unsure how to change the code so that it fits nicely into the left sidebar and is ‘centred’? Anyone know?

<form name=”form1″ method=”post” action=”https://www.mcssl.com/app/contactsave.asp”&gt;
<input name=”merchantid” type=”hidden” id=”merchantid” value=”154392″>
<input name=”ARThankyouURL” type=”hidden” id=”ARThankyouURL” value=”www.totalbusinesscart.com/app/thankyou.asp?ID=154392″>
<input name=”copyarresponse” type=”hidden” id=”copyarresponse” value=”1″>
<input name=”custom” type=”hidden” id=”custom” value=”0″>
<input name=”defaultar” type=”hidden” id=”defaultar” value=”0″>
<input name=”allowmulti” type=”hidden” id=”allowmulti” value=”0″>
<input name=”visiblefields” type=”hidden” id=”visiblefields” value=”Name,Email1″>
<input name=”requiredfields” type=”hidden” id=”requiredfields” value=”Name,Email1″>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><input name=”Name” type=”text” size=”40″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><input name=”Email1″ type=”text” size=”40″></td>
</tr>
<tr align=”center”>
<td colspan=”2″>
<input type=”Submit” name=”cmdSubmit” value=”Submit”>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
