      From nowhere a backlink to our website has appeared that looks creepy and spammy to us. More astonishing is the fact that our analytics has recorded 477 visits within one day and all the visits are from different places in Vietnam. Here's the link http://erpsoftware99.com/batchmaster-erp-software.htmlWhat should we do? Will Google hold us responsible for this?Thanks & Regards

        sorry im not rand 🙂

        but we can never prevent other sites to link to us. i think Google is smart enough not to penalize your site just because of this. but thats just me.

              Hi Shailendra,

              If your analytics reports lots of visit coming from a web page that's doesn have any links to your website, this is probably a case of referrer spam. See more details about this on the following Wikipedia article :

              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referrer_spam

              Best regards,
              Guillaume Voyer.

                Shailendra,

                Its a common thing when a bad link causes a devaluation. But, Google doesnt penalize for just 1 bad link, its a bad neighbourhood that it mostly targets. There is very little that you can do at this point of time. It maybe a good idea to keep a lookout for your GWT messages.
