Default Massive Links Overnight

Hi All,

Sorry for the fantastic title, but I really need some help.



Recently my main real estate website www.PhoenixHomes.com has gone from hardly any IBL's to massive amounts, and I mean massive. Almost overnight!

I used to always show around 2500 IBL's (give or take a few) in all the major SE's, so this must be the true number for my site. Two days ago it was brought to my attention, by a competitor no less, that my IBL's had skyrocketed. This competitor had the ba]]$ to ask my how I did it and offered me a fairly large amount of cash to share my "secret". He directed me to take a look for myself, so I did and I was floored. I had something like 130,000 IBL's from each engine (except Google of course). I checked again yesterday thinking it was a fluke... not only was it not a fluke but I now had 220,000 IBL's showing on each engine. Needless to say I began to worry. Today when I checked there are something like 327,000 IBL's showing from each engine.

I am getting really scared now because I am thinking someone has it out for me and is trying to get my site penalized.

I'm not normally paranoid, really. But this is nuts.

Can anyone help, or shed some light, or begin hypothesizing? Please.

Sincerely,

One Scared Straight Webmaster

BTW, I have cross posted this in two other forums, I am desperate for an answer, or help, etc.

How about a link exchange then with your site ?

You might check out this. Every domain listed on that page, that I checked, seems to showing an unusually high number of backlinks.

Thank you Jeff! HHI GolfGuy pointed it out too over here.

Here is what I posted there:
I have wasted my entire morning on this!

Get this: I went through as many as I could by hand and actually came to the end and it said repeat search without duplicates omitted so I did. Well there is one link from one page being repeated over and over and over. They spiders must have got hung up on that site. It is a site about blogs where I posted a comment on the software the site offers. Funny how Google's spiders, and MSN's didn't get hung up there. You were right, it is OpenCMS...

This has to be the answer, there are pages and pages of this one link showing from the same exact URL.

Okay, mystery solved, no one is trying to sabatoge me. Now, what to do next? Will contacting Yahoo help?

Thanks again Jeff. Say, long time no see (or chat for that matter). How have you been bro?
