A comment or not?
Logged into my site and it says I have a comment. Exciting right? I thought so at first. Except I couldn't find it. Then when I did it wouldn't open. There didn't seem to be an actual comment. I tried clicking on it but it wouldn't open.
Here's a screenshot. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

It's a link that points back to somebody else's blog. Did you reciprocate articles with another blogger?
Essentially, someone is commenting on your content, but on their own blog to create traffic for themselves.
It came back to my blog post. I put it on here at first and the link went back to my own post.
No I haven't reciprocated articles with anyone, not far enough along to even know how to do that.
Wow, Linda. I had a similar one in my comments this morning on my affiliate site. I tried to figure it out for a bit and finally decided it must be Spam.
I thought it was spam at first but then I manged to open it for a look by clicking on Edit.
Did add it but had to remove it as it was an actual link to one of my blog posts.
It's a mystery how it got there though.
I clicked on Edit too and it looked the same and since it was not approved, whatever it was, did not show in the post. I had a 1 Highlighted Red in the comments column and it was in every comment on that post. When I marked it as Spam, all of the REd Highlighted 1's disappeared.
