How to Send Pingbacks Via a Curl or Socket
Pingbacks are types of linkback that tell a website or server, when another website links to that page. Pingbacks are integrated automatically into various content management systems (CMS) such as Movable Type, WordPress and Serendipity. Pingbacks are delivered using various protocols including Curl or Socket. To send a pingback, however, you need to link from your own website. The protocol used for the pingback is determined by the server to which you are sending the pingback, and so you have no control over it. To send a pingback, all you need to do is insert a hyperlink into your own page, directed at a compatible blog.
