3,638 mystery inbound links from google.com

[Jack4ireland]

Hello, can anybody help me.

I my webmaster tools, under "Links to your Site" and "Who links the most" It shows Google as the top inbound link source, with 3,669 out of 4,14, all these links are pointing to one sub page of content. Yet when I click on the source it only shows me one Google Plus page.

My traffic hell by 60% when I first noticed these links. we have not been building unnatural links and we have not had any Manual link building warning.

This is the site: iunlock.org

Two questions:-

1. I have deleted this one linked to page what else can I do to reverse this impact
2. Does anybody know what has happened?

Hi Jack

Believe it or not, G+ links comments with attached links are do follow...

That means someone from that G+ profile made an enormous amount of posts with links to your site via G+

You can read some more info about this here

I suggest you disavowing this unnatural link by using GWMT.

Read more about disavowing here.

Also should take care of other search engines as this disavowing tool will only work with google.

Hope this is useful for your purposes!

Thanks right Jack, Google Plus offers a do follow link back to the website and there are websites who are using Google plus comment box (similar to facebook). IF you have commented on few blogs that somehow convert that one link in to multiple links.

I mean not sure if removing them will be a doable option to you but better idea is to disavow the links that are causing this and it will be resolved.

Hope this helps!
