    Hello

    I've recently been checking my backlinks and i now have around 140 links coming in from one site, i don't understand how this has happened.

    The backlinks are from every page and file of the website

    Does anyone know why some of these webtools are showing me around 140 links from one website.

    Thanks guys

    Probably, your link was put sidewide, so you get the link from any rage on the website.
    Another reason could be that the link is set within some 'container', where the container is varied/used over several pages.

    This is because you have many commented on one page, and your link was appear on the recent commentator plugin, and so in every page, it shows recent commentator, and your link. So finally, you get link in every page.

    I too got 75,000 backlinks with 25 comments once in 4 days, but no use since they use no follow :(

    It's a blogroll that placed sitewide, so each time new article is up, you get 1 more extra link.

    Yes it is a link on a sidebar on a blog!

    In case of sitewide links, your 'number of backlinks' can be 1000s from one single site. Every page that get indexed again after your link is put on the site will be counted as a page that links to you.

    Normally this happen if the link lay at site bar, the site bar link appearing every pages and therefore you get many link from that site

    Are these site wide links desirable or can they infringe me or penalise me from google, i don't know what to do.

    The links are growing every day nearly in their thousands.

    Thanks James

    Be careful jimmy lad - if yo're throwing up sitewides it has a big impact on your link footprint - so one day you have 3 links - next 143 - then next 1145 etc - thus it becomes obvious you're "link building"

    generally - pick the best page from the site that is relevant to your offering and place your link there - essentially the sitewides are on one ip address thus you're just making it obvious that thousands of new links are going up - if in doubt - stay away from them!

    updates have apparently devalued side bar/ sitewide links - i generally prefer not to take them... if i do - normally a "brand" link....

    Please help, somebody
    These links from the site are growing at an exponential rate, my site is only 5 weeks old and the back links are growing at a pace of around 60 a day to one particular site, i'm told that somehow i've triggered a sitewide momentum.

    I need to stay out of googles radar at this point, what will happen about these links. I was doing well, e zine, a little bit of do follow blogging and then this happens. I need to know if there is anyway of discovering a sitewide potential risk before i repeat this process, it must not just be me, there are many others who have commented on that site.

    What will happen to me, is there anything i can do.

    Cheers James
