understanding referrers
-
On my stats for today there is a WP blog link under the referrer section. My understanding of this is that there is a link on this blog to mine.. is that right??
If so then I can’t find it.
IF there is a link on there somewhere wouldn’t I get a ping back?If there isn’t a link on there how would some one be referred from that blog to mine?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No every blog is set up to send out pings. Default Article Settings > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#default-article-settings
The referrers section lists other blogs, web sites, and search engines that link to your blog. A view is counted as a referrer when a visitor of the other site clicks a link and lands on a URL of your blog. … Some search engines don’t reveal search terms for privacy reasons. That’s why we don’t always know which search terms were used by visitors who arrived at your site from a search engine. When we don’t know the search terms, we show them as “Unknown search terms”.

I’m sorry I’m still confused.
In the referrer section the link was to a specific WP blog. If this blog is showing as a referrer then doesn’t that mean there must have been a link to my blog somewhere on that WP blog?
