Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks so much you are very helpful.

I've had the same pull down menus on my site since 1998! I guess it's time to try something new.

I have over 250,000 links into my site that I did not ask for, did not buy, and frankly, do not want. Some are from pages covered with links, some are from what look like "normal" websites.

I'm afraid these crazy links are going to destroy my credibility with google. My site has been up since 1997, and I've never had anything like this happen before. If I follow your argument correctly, you are saying that I should be blacklisted?

But I did nothing NOTHING to get these links in. There are links from about sixty sites into my site - links I asked for and from high quality sites. The rest are all just there, I had nothing to do with it.

Any expertise you could offer would be deeply appreciated. I wake up having nightmares about these links.
