What are incoming links?
-
This may be a silly question, but I do not understand the concept of incoming links. What are these links and how are they created? Is this from someone who viewed my blog or what? And why is it that they disappear as fast as they come? If I click on it, I go to their site but am I supposed to see a link to my site? Does this have anything to do with RSS? How would I create a link to another site? I guess I just do not understand!

These are blogs and sites that have linked to you. Somewhere on that site is or was a link to your blog; check the blogroll and old posts as well. It’s there somewhere.
And it’s glitchy because Google is still trying to fix it.

How do you “link” to another site? By adding them to my blogroll or what? There are times when I have 4 or 5 “incoming links” from different posts on the same blog. How does this happen?

Sometimes a reader will click to your blog while in the middle of reading a post; that sounds like what’s reflected in your stats. Yes, adding a blog’s url to your blogroll is a sure-fire way to link to another site.

You link to a site by adding them to your blogroll or by putting a link in a post. Other sites will link to you in the same way. WP stats (using Google) can tell you which other blogs and sites have linked to your blog. These are your incoming links.
And as raincoaster says, the system isn’t working very well at the moment.
