 * Can anyone suggest a reliable way to display the number of trackbacks a post 
   has received – in the same way the number of comments
 * In order words
 * Comments (0) Trackbacks (0)
 * Like on Movabletype etc.

 * This little snippet will achieve what you need…
 *     ```
       <?php /* NUMBERS OF PINGS AND COMMENTS */
         $ping_count = $comment_count = 0;
         foreach ( $comments as $comment )
           get_comment_type() == "comment" ? ++$comment_count : ++$ping_count;
       ?>
       ```
