    I check cpanel stats every day and I have noticed lots of strange links such as the one below pointing to my blog, but these are not relevant to my site? Some are porn!

    /news/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/kiss-with-a-fist.html

    They all return a 404 error page, is someone submitting my pages to a bad neighbourhood as the ip addres sis of google!

    I have had the same problem. I would check a couple of my backlinks, and they'll point to a blog/forum/site that doesn't exist. It makes me wonder if my competitors are doing something.

    exactly, my competitors did a similar thing by doing a DoS attack using automated software to send emails to server, 11,000 in 2 minutes.

    If I hadnt have removed the email form from website,t he server would have gone down.
