A WordPress pingback is a notification that is automatically sent from one WordPress site to another when a link is added to a post or page. This lets the site know that it has been mentioned on another site, and allows the two sites to communicate with each other.
Your own website can also post pingbacks from one article to another and if your theme allows it, you can display the Pingback links on the page, to show users additional links that might interest them in the context of the current post.
