    What is all this BS with the related pages? Is this why Google is all f-d up?
    If I look at the related pages I see a lot of sites that I am not related to at all and sites I do NOT want to be related to ever!
    Is this why you get banned, devaluated? How do they relate me to sites I have never heard of? Linkfarms with a link to my site that I haven't submitted to? How do they decide who is related and who is not?:mad: :confused:

    It's based on finding links to your site on pages with links to other sites. If you've got a bunch of links coming to you from pages that also contain prOn sites, ringtones, linkfarms, etc. then they may show up as "related".

    So according to the new rules this will hurt you badly and if you have never submitted anything to linkfarms and PR0 sites then what??

    Maybe your domain was registered before? In that case, the previous owner could have made those link exchanges and given you the related sites
