You'll notice they provide an image for you to display embedded in the <a href="..."> </a> tags, simple enough, but I can't figure out what that second IMG tag is for with the little 1 x 1 image. Since it's outside the actual link, I don't really see what it accomplishes.

It's simply a counter. Calls an image off a remote server which increments a counter on that remote server. Allows whoever to track how frequently the code block is shown.
