A secured loan lead generation company is using my url in a sponsored listing at

http://www.financelink.co.uk/?sitefi...inancial.co.uk

it links to

http://secured-loan.gb.com/?OVRAW=ww...ID=59119397531


www.bakerfinancial.co.uk is my site.

Will this have an effect on my rankings?, I was ranking on 1st page for Yahoo uk for a number of search terms but as of today I am way off that.

Can anyone suggest how to go about getting this removed. I have emailed the directory.

The page goes to a search and not found page. Financelink might not even be behind it ... a lot of search pages for my site turned up in Google's index, probably with the help of a scraper.

It should have a too-small-to-notice effect on your search rankings ... why would it? Nobody is going to discover your web site by typing your url into a search engine. Having your url appear in the query string of a page on another site isn't a positive or negative thing.
