This is really pissing me off.

I don't want to get slapped for this and all I have been doing is manually commenting on blogs in my niche and state.

For some odd reason, if you check my site in ahrefs, its showing 1,607 backlinks! But I've only done about 40-50 max (the site is barely over 2 months old).

I am noticing that most of the backlinks come from this 1 stupid blog. Ahrefs seems to be showing just about every page of the blog as a backlink however.

Can someone please check my site out in ahrefs and explain to me if this is an issue... or why this 1 blog shows up over a thousand times?

I left one comment on the blog

My site is: Mold Remediation NJ | MMRG Mold Remediation & Basement Waterproofing-

Can this get me in trouble?

edit:

Backlink watch says I have none.
SEO Spyglass says I have 14, which makes the most sense, there is probably a bunch that haven't been indexed yet.

But what the is the deal with ahrefs? Is this site not reliable or something?

    Probably a recent comments widget that shows up on that site's sidebar, which means your link will show-up sitewide but it is temporary (until your comment is replaced by new comments)

    Ok great! That makes perfect sense.

    I had no idea that a comment widget would do that. As long as the backlinks disappear then I'm a happy man. =]

    Thanks - Red
