    I created backlink for my client through comment postings in few blogs. When I put mouse on keyword I can see website url but when I click it it doesn't open website instead it show a message -

    Not Acceptable

    An appropriate representation of the requested resource / could not be found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Other people links are working well.

    got a link? That is a hardened server issue. Meaning someone locked the machine down. It is a mod_security issue if I remember correctly. Try adding this to htaccess and see if it solves the issue.

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>


    I am by no stretch an apache expert but at a glance that will fix your issue. However, its shuts off that flag so the server is, in theory, no longer locked down. I don't run mod_security on much these days really.

    hope that helps,
    Nigel
