Very Odd Backlinks Appearing for my Brand New Site

Dimebag · 08-05-2009, 11:40 AM

This site has not even been indexed by google yet. I have done a small amount of backlinks myself - social, forums and blogs - probably 20 at most.

Just checked my backlinks and I have some strange links coming from some randomers linkedinprofile, web directories with anchor text which does not apply to my site whatsoever.

The site is a mini adsense site basd around three keywords.

I cant for the life of me understand why a random guy has links to my site in his linked in profile. There are also other business related forum links that have appeared all with the the same strange anchor text?

Baffled

Has you domain been registered before? It could be links for the previous site.

Thanks! Yes it seems the domain was registered before? Will this affect me in the serp's? :S

It could affect your rankings depending on how many links and if you changed the domains core niche.

How did you find out these sites were linking to you? Is there a tool that you used?

What ever done is done - It can be easily reversed. Restart and redo everything.
