Today - I did a "link:[domain name] on Yahoo and to my shock I saw the first 50 backlinks from a site called pickthebrain dot com. I never been there before but when I clicked on one of the links from pickthebrain website - it redirected me to a website named drugshopworld dot com. Red flags went up needless to say.
I checked the whois database from GoDaddy - game me the owner (probably fake) of drugshopworld and then I googled it. I found a web security site saying that this site was a scam website.
Well, that's not the end of the story - I started looking more on Google to see if my website was hacked...it seemed like it wasn't other than the fact on my domain name, it has something that looks like a hop link - for an example - http://bla dot com/?hop=ksvpss - not sure what that is.
Anyway - after this - I went back to my backlink list off of yahoo explorer - and when I clicked on the backlinks from "pickthebrain" website - this time, it took me right to the site. No evidence that any link to my site was there.
So what do you guys think? Has this happened to you? |
