The Pingback_bot is LJ pimping you out. It's notifying you when a link to one of your stories has been posted somewhere. So every time you post in a comm, it pings you.
Some people find it useful. (I hate it, and in a fit of crankiness reported it as a bot and banned it from everywhere, for whatever good it'll do.) You can turn it off by going to Profile, Settings, Privacy, and disabling it. It's down at the bottom of the list.
