Not sure if this is the right place to post this? When running Google's Webmaster tools I noticed that when checking what Googlebot sees, in external links to your site it has phrases such as "Jenna Jameson Naked", "Percocet Use", etc. It's kind of funny but probably doesn't help my Google rankings.

Turns out a few blogs and websites are linking to posts on my blog at http://www.utahskiproperties.com/blog/ One site doing it is this one (spammy url removed). If you look towards the middle of the page right above the ads by Google box there are about 5 tiny blue links that you can't even read and one is the link to my blog. When you rollover the links I noticed my website in the status bar in Internet Explorer, it was the only way to see it was my site.

Does anyone know why they would want to do this or has anyone else seen this before? Just thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks,
JR

The page appears to be a scrapper site. It goes out and grabs random bits from other sites and random links. I don't know why they would grab links but they do. I suspect it is a from of harvesting content.

Hi Neal,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. These guys are driving me crazy.

It's probably your competition trying to get you blacklisted. Hopefully not but there is always a chance...

Sometimes a scraper site can take over your position in the serps.

I wouldn't worry about who links to me. As long as you build a lot of good backlinks it doesn't have any effect.

Generally those sites have a program that will search the net in search of high prs or sites that have alot of attention because of quality and try to attach themselves to it.

Not so much as high pr sites but sites that they may be able to out rank by scraping the content.
