Question about too many inbound links?

Hey,

According to Google Webmaster Tools, one of my sites has over 1000 inbound links from a certain website. The website is popular and in the same niche and I have commented it on a few times, but it has a 1000 links to my home page. It doesn't make sense. It use to be at 300, which I thought was odd and now it is at 1000.

What should I do?

Is that "other website" yours, too?
If so, you may manually unlink some.
Otherwise, sending an email or contacting the webmaster of that website with a request to remove some links may help.

  That is odd if you've only commented a few times. Maybe Google is misreporting the link count? I agree with deekay about contacting the webmaster and asking that some/all of your links be removed if it is hurting your SEO and traffic efforts.

  You'd probably get more expert answers, and more answers in general if you posted this question in the SEO section. Your type of question is what they do all day long.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

  Yep this is what happened. Your comments were on a 'recent comments' widget, so when the site got crawled, the link was on every page. It will work itself out eventually when the site gets crawled again.
