... that is a good thing, right?

I'm having difficulty searching out the answer, but I think it means another site has linked to mine to follow what I say? So unless it's a spy it's a good thing, yes?

Funny you're having trouble "searching" out the answer; it's how you go "backwards" from where you are in a search; so if you follow a link to a link to a link (or on a directory if you go down levels) it keeps track of how you got to where you go, so you can go back to where you were. I'd guess it's a kind of structural "safety" so if the blog software crashes, one can recreate it and not lose the whole thing. It's part of the internal structure of the blog I believe. Multiple ways to get somewhere have to have breadcrumbs so one can get back

Well, two of them were spam sites. One appears
to be a legitimate site. So they're linking so they can follow my blogging?
Or there link is for me to go follow them?

Yeah the searches gave me pages of skiing and hiking backtracks
