Backlink management: 301 redirect unsuccessful.

[SOLVISTA]

I am managing my company's spammy backlinks using Open Site Explorer.  Our company owns a few URLs that are related to our company or are iterations of our main URL.  All of these additional URLs have 301 redirects to our main domain.  Open Site Explorer has identified one of these URLs as having a spam score of 8 indicating a 56% chance of Google crawler penalization.  Obviously, this is a red flag.  Instead of being redirected to our main domain upon visiting the URL, I was directed to what seems to be an automatically generated, generic webpage with links that seem to have been generated by keywords from our main domain.  I have seen this type of webpage before when incorrectly typing in URLs from other pages.  They tend to look the same.  They have a black background with the URL written in grey at the top and a rectangular related links bar.  Is anyone familiar with my problem and could you offer any advice?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

How is the redirect being managed? .htaccess or page?

I would also check that the site nameservers haven't been pointed towards something like a domain holding / auction site. I think Sedo do something like this.
