Why are people posting my website link?

3 replies
Hi Warriors,

I use Google Alerts to keep me abreast of where my website links are popping up. I use this to help affiliates, watch where my article submissions go and so on. It's very useful.

Recently I've started noticing my links appearing in spam comments. They don't even have an affiliate link and aren't coded very well as the html doesn't appear to work. An example is:

"First time posting here<a href=http://www.mysite.com>.</a>
Is anyone here looking to network?
Leave me a post and introduce yourself<a href=http://siteiveneverheardof.com>.</a>

Later<a href=http://anothersiteidon'tknow.org>,</a>"

It;'s not an affiliate as there is no affiliate link and it is always with the same 2 sites.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help

Jason

    Could it be a competitor trying to damage your brand? Have you noticed any other suspicious activity?

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

    I was going to say the same, seems some one trying to do you harm. Or maybe it's a bot some one is using to spam the affiliate link, but they don't have it set up right? Just a thought.

    I was wondering the same to be honest. I had someone shop me to Paypal when I launched and had my paypal account shut down.

    I've not noticed any other odd activity, just these popping up every day or so. I'd understand it if there was an affiliate link in it.

    Very odd!

    I'm going to keep my eyes on it.

    Jason
