A sex link in my links!

Hi Warriors,

I come here often because you guys are so helpful, I learn a lot here and I'm still really new to internet marketing.

I have an affiliate site with amazon. The site is hosted on Hostgator. I've read horror stories of people having their amazon account closed because of sexual content.

My site has absolutely nothing to do with sex or porn or anything like that. But today I went into my hostgator cpanel and looked at my "Links from an external page" in AWStats - I noticed probably a 100 links in there. I have no idea where they all came from. But one really stood out. I went to this 3gpsex site and it is a porno site!

How did this get on my site links from external pages? Does anyone know how I can get rid of it? Does amazon have access to this and will they see this and shut me down?

I am so paranoid. I've put so much work into this site. It's is finally getting a couple sales. Nothing worth bragging about, but at least its finally starting to get a little traffic.

Any insight on this issue is so much appreciated!!

Thank you!

    Go to fiverr to ask people to remove the link for you.

    If you have Chrome Browser check to see if there's a warning for your site. The other option is to check to see if any files have been changed using FTP software -- most likely they're javascript files.

    And while you do what others have suggested, I recommend you to do a full backup of your website and database, just in case.

    Forget fiverr, odds are they'll scam you.

    If your site is running Wordpress & the porn links are on your own site, read this:

    Also remove that porn link from your OP comment or a forum mod might ban you for dropping porn links.

      Yes, if you use WordPress, everything is very simple

    if your site have encrypted code then you can't do anything. if you want to remove link first you need to decrypt code and find unusual code from that and remove manually.
