When you update your blog next time, could you please let me know if the problem persist?<BR/><BR/>Now I'm unhappy with Google.Xujunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534267282303815433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-32536556160930059792009-01-03T07:12:00.000-05:002009-01-03T07:12:00.000-05:00Today I found several "fake links" from Inside-Out...Today I found several "fake links" from Inside-Out China on my weblog, which helped me to figure out why the links are happening. In the right-hand column of your weblog there is a section titled "China Blogs" that links to posts on other weblogs when they are updated. At least for my weblog, I think Google is crawling the web and finding your "China Blogs" links, and thinking that you are linking to my site in your posts. So I have a hunch that if you disable the "China Blogs" list, the problem will go away.Micah Sittighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974162639554851660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-2519364739813752112009-01-02T11:54:00.000-05:002009-01-02T11:54:00.000-05:00Xujun, I don't know if this is a bad thing.

I don't think I see the down side. It's just unusual. Maybe your blog provider has a support forum. (It looks like you are using blogger, which is even more surprising because this seems like an advanced behavior I would expect from a privately hosted blog. Let me know if you hear anything. But don't worry about me. I don't have a problem with the way it is set up now.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you are worried about spam links coming in, (which is different from what I'm describing) you might look under your settings for pingbacks or trackbacks.<BR/><BR/>JerryJerry Waxlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945251286691895431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-13097449666442886522008-12-31T10:17:00.000-05:002008-12-31T10:17:00.000-05:00Gosh, this is worse than I thought.

I was going to write you an email to ask if you know why it should be happening. I thought perhaps the reason might be that you turned off "no follow" in your comment section, but it sounds more complicated than that. By the way, I don't mind having incoming links from you, and I really really don't mind you promoting your blog. But I thought this puzzle might somehow be related to your issue.<BR/><BR/>JerryJerry Waxlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945251286691895431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-73385219803253874212008-12-30T22:57:00.000-05:002008-12-30T22:57:00.000-05:00Thanks for letting me know, Dan.

I hope whoever is doing this will leave my blog alone as well. <BR/><BR/>Happy New Year, by the way.Xujunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534267282303815433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-59039440523148442102008-12-30T21:32:00.000-05:002008-12-30T21:32:00.000-05:00That happened to me once, maybe a year ago, and an...That happened to me once, maybe a year ago, and another blogger accused me of doing it to promote my blog. I convinced him otherwise, but to this day, I don't know what caused it, but it was very much like you have described.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
