      Hey guys,

      Fairly new to SEOmoz but loving it so far. I was working on a new clients site a noticed some spammy links added right before the tag. Used Open site explorer to list the domains linking to the url and found nearly 300 unsuspecting domains. Some like heartresearch.com.au which just drives me craaazy, I have already emailed them. Below is the list.

      http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links.html?group=0&page=3&site=www.rhcie.com

      Short of emailing every single person can anyone suggest a forum or such that would be helpful for posting this information ? I know it's just a few links but it is frustrating to me and If I can do something about it I would like to.

      Thanks in advance.

      Jason

        As someone who has had several sites hacked, this would be awesome! Unfortunately I'm not personally aware of any such forum.

        If the sites are registered with Google Webmaster Tools, Google often does a pretty good job of sending out notices of malware and such.

        Oftentimes these links disappear as fast as they appear, as webmasters play wac-a-mole with the spammers. Unfortunately these links can appear on backlink reports like OSE or even Webmaster Tools for months as the web is recalled.

        Regardless, I commend you for your helpfulness and generosity in emailing even a single site. The web needs more folks like you!

        Cyrus
