Shady *-123.net Links on my site! How do I get rid of them?

Post by Real Green Team »

It recently came to my attention that there are a few websites linking from my website to theirs in order to increase page rank I assume. I was using Site Expert to make an updated sitemap and noticed the following 3 URL's linking from my site.

texasholdem-123.com/
onlinecasino-777.net/
viagra-123.net/

For the life of me I can't seem to find them on the site, but my program did. Is there any way to ban certain URL's?

I want to ban the Texas Hold em one in particular. This guy has been emailing me for a recipricol link for weeks, but his site has nothing to do with ours. No where close to relevant!

Somehow he found a way to post his link. I looked through all my users and no one is linking to any of these sites through the profile option. I am thinking it must be buried somewhere in a thread I guess. Not quite sure.

I just don't want to help anybody out that is trying to do something shady like this.

First off, sort your memberlist be website to see if they have it listed that way Other than that you will just have to search, there is no URL ban feature.

Yeah I've checked all my members. I don't see anyone linking to these sites in their profile. That's where I looked first when I realized I was getting new members that all had names like propecia, vicodin, etc and linked to some russian sites.

Like I said I haven't been able to find them, but site expert did.
