Concerned about External Referrals to my website

4 replies
Hello all. I was having a look at my AwStats for one of my websites and I was quite take aback when I saw unrelated Russian Websites as external links connecting to my websites. I looked at all the websites and most of them were Russian, one was a porn site. My website has nothing to do with Russia, it is a Canadian Film and Video company. I was wondering how and where are they linking my website ? Any idea anyone, or do you think its a hack of some kind. I looked through the script and found no traces of unfamiliar coding. Any feedback will be appreciated.

    You get lots of those when you buy x thousand backlinking services on Fiverr.

    Did you, by any chance, buy some kind of pyramid, wheel, etc. links on Fiverr?

      Actually no..my SEO technique is quite strong. I have never purchased any gigs from Fiver or any other SEO agency. Can you explain what you mean by the Pyramid or wheel ? I am just confused as to how I am getting traffic from a source which is not quite related to my niche. When I try to find the link that got them to my website, i can't find it either. Dont know whats the catch .

        Maybe someone who believes negative SEO is a fine and dandy idea tried it on you.

        Go to fiverr, search for pyramids and wheels and you'll get plenty of examples.

        I wouldn't concern myself, unless, of course, my rankings dropped.

    Maybe they scraped some of your content that has intact links? Or, they are hotlinking to your images, that could be giving you a backlink by accident. Anything is possible when it comes to stolen or scraped content. Even if you don't see the content.
