      Ooppps,

      Looks like I closed this question a little early. So, I will give it another run.

      I paid to have some link work done...... (now I know better) Anyway, now there are several links and quite alot of traffic going to the site....... Unfortunately now my bounce is going up..... because online games really has nothing to do with Concrete Pumps and Pump Parts.... go figure.

      What is a logical next step to correct the problem.

      Thank You!

        Well you have already worked out the first step - realising your link generators weren't that good!

        There is going to be nothing you can do to stop people bouncing off those links, as you have already said they are completely off-topic for your site. The best thing you can do is start building some on-topic, better quality links to your site and ignoring those other visitors.

        Depending on how many links these other people generated there may or may not be a problem with Google et al. They might have put you at risk of tripping a filter if there are a lot of off-topic links, especially if they look "bought for".

          I honestly don't think you are going to be able to do anything about the links created, unless you manually contact the owner of the sites involved.

          Out of interest, did you LinkBuilder provide you with a spreadsheet of work completed? If so they may have included URLs, IDs and Passwords so that you can be back in and remove the bad links....which I assume are profile links.

          Just keep building good links, and these bad ones will fall into insignificance.
