  • Hi!
    I have seen in many blogs with such comments

    <Name including link>
    […]This is a comment[…]

    I’m sure that this is an auto-generated comment, because the comment holds a small portion of the blog post, whose url is used in Name of the comment poster. For more clarity visit http://blog.akismet.com/2010/11/23/20-billion-served/ and see the first comment.
    Can anyone please tell me How is it possible? Or which plugin does it?

    These are pingbacks. When your WordPress blog post contains a link to another WordPress blog post, a pingback is generated and left on the post that you linked to automatically.

    It’s a nice way of saying, “Hey, I mentioned your post in my post.”

    This is built-in, there’s no plugin required.
