not necessarily. i can put a link on my page that takes someone to your site, but that doesn't mean you are going to be mentioned. Say there is a document on your site, and i refer to a specific part of it. i link to it. the person reads that part, then goes on their merry way. no credit went to you there. the person read the information and wandered off. so much for credit. for all the other person knew, it was simply a jump to another part of my page. unless you specifically take the time to identify the link, or the page on the other end of the link is specifically labelled as yours, then you won't get credit for it. hence the problem with intellectual property.
