    I have been using google sitemaps and I am getting a weird results for bad request. My site shows "mysiste.com/?link1Page=330". I do not have the ?link1Page=330 on my site at all, nor in my FTP anywhere. Not sure where this link comes from all I know is that it is cousing me a supplemental results on google.

    Also I am getting a lots of arabic.php, chinese.php.

    I talked to my hosting company they said they have nothing to do with this.

    Anyone has a similar experience with such problem?

    Yes, google also shows up non-existing pages in my sitemap accounts: and correctly sees that they don't exist. I have no idea what to do about it. It may mean people link to incorrect URL's on your site.

    What IPs are these coming from? Is it a googlebot IP or what? If its coming from something other than googlebot, go in to your server and block those IP addresses.

    Let me correct this. When you go to google and type "site:mysite{dot}com" and you go to last page you will see this url: mysite.com/?link1Page=330

    I first discovered this in sitemaps, when to google page and types the "site:mysite{dot}com", and sure enough google has this page in their index. When I click on it, it goes to my regular main page. This /?link1page=330 is cached exactly as my main page. Therefore two same main pages exist per google.

    Google shows this page ?link1page=330 as supplemental page.

    I did not do any marketing, nor black hat seo. Somehow google attached this link to my main page.

    Recently I have noticed also "mysite{dot}com/arabic.php", "mysite{dot}com/chinese.php" etc.

    Seems like search engines are looking for common named pages on my site.

    All the info is from "site:mysite{dot}com"

    Looks like others are in the same boat...
    http://www.google.com/search?q=allinurl:link1page
    Not sure what it is, but it creates a query that actually does nothing, giving a query url something like an affiliate system might use.
    Seems like a .htaccess / 301 redirect set up to remove the ?link1page (& etc.) would solve the problem.
