      I was looking through our links since the last OSE update and was surprised to found several links which I have no idead how they got there.

      What made me suspicious is that the anchor text is relevant, but when i'm checking the page I don't see the link anymore (or can't access it, like in the first example).

      Some of those links :

      I don't even know if those links are real since I can't access many of those pages...

        When I click these link, a download starts. That's why you probably can't see it. I can't understand why these links show up in OSE though, I'll take a closer look at it and those files that gets downloaded.

          Hi! So sorry for the delayed response, but having downloadable files show up as links is a known bug in OSE that we're working on. Here's a post from a Linkscape engineer with some more information: http://www.seomoz.org/q/how-are-our-competitors-getting-these-inbound-linking-domains
