"ghost" links on opensite explorer
-
today I've checked link building progress for a site I am working on. I've noticed lots of new links and new domains, I was happy but a bit surprised because I havent'y done any serious link building yet.
investigating more, I've checked the pages that should be linking my site, and these pages are on totally unreleated sites or they doesn't even exist!
as an example, my site is about road bicycles, and opensite report this links:
and 14 more
as you can see, these pages are down. probably never existed.
so what's happen?
- opensite is getting crazy?
- www.murrayschicken.com/ has been got hacked?
- my client is doing some black hat link building?
any opinions?
-
No OSE isn't being crazy, My guess would be lazy link building. Check your SERPs results and see if you have dropped in any keyword positions.
If you have, use the Disavow tool on webmaster tools to get rid of any crappy links.

many of these linking pages doesn't even exist anymore, and they are not listed in webmaster tool.
don't know if I have dropped, because the site was not ranking for anything since 8 weeks ago, and now it is slowing grown (but not as I would expected)
but how can you explain that OSE is listing this pages that doesn't have ANY link to my site?
