      A while ago my site had a pharmacy hack done to it and created a ton of spam links. I've since fixed the issues on my site but I'm still showing links from their sites. See screen shot:

      I think they are links from the spam site to me and not my site "yakanger" linking to them correct?

      Do I need to worry about these?

      Can I get rid of them?

          Thanks for mentioning that video - here's the link to it

          I'd say you probably don't have anything to worry about. The links are most likely not counted by Google (like they're not even there).

          DO check webmaster tools for any "unnatural link" warnings though.
