At lest it will give you one reasonable link, but I wouldn't worry about the bad links unless that is all you have. I get lots of links from "aggregators" and don't worry about where content ends up. I even occasionally see some traffic from the splogs. Marc I am still going to be writing that SEO review with those few tips we discussed.

I love what we do, but the industry as sleazy, competitive and boring as it is makes me wish I was a celebrity columnist at times. THanks for the input, it is truly appreciated.

Google used to say things akin to 'there isnt anything a 3rd party can do to negatively affect your site'. That said, it cant really help your link profile if you don't have any site of authority linking to you, or if you aren't creating buzz in your niche either (think blogosphere) I have a site stuck in the doldrums. It has lots of reciprocals and a degree of crappy sites linking to it too. It doesnt rank very well at all. I suspect its because either a)it has some form of manually applied 'can't rank past page 3' penalty b)Its suffering from a) but hasn't had the benefit of being whitelisted or c) it just doesnt have enough of the right type of links pointing to it. A cursory glance at the site in your post suggests that its a relatively new site in a massively competitive (finance) market place so is really going to have to work hard to get to where you want it to be. A forum and a blog will help, but ultimately you want to be creating interest, getting people to talk about you and what you do for others - IMO therin lies a huge challenge, especially in (for me at least) a marketplace that is about as interesting as paint drying! heh don't get me wrong i love a £ note too, but only in the sense of spending the things! :D Good luck with it Mark, thanks for commenting Possibly Marc, but i doubt it, its one of those unapprovables.

A lot of crap sites have linked to me. Don't know who they are or why they linked to me becuase there is no relevance in our sites. e.g. a dating site, some cheap little watch company etc. Does that hurt me in the sense that Im being associated with crap?

In other words, these links are not ok for the search engines, but ok for its users. I know others have reported their nofollows turning up as backlinks too which kinda dilutes any concrete positions. Bottom line is, they (the SE's) can choose to do what they like with a link and we will always be playing catch up theorising. I suspect its more a tool for them than a tool for us. Right, off to look at your generator oversight :D Well, the problem with the theory is that the policy is a bit of a shifting target.I can’t quite recall the source, but i’m pretty sure i read something akin to an interpretation being,(paraphrasing) “I don’t vouch for this link, its untrusted” which isn’t the same as “I dont vouch for this link dont aply any link juice” take Wikipedia for example, it used to link out to lots of ‘quality’ resources, freely giving link juice etc. Suddenly it decided that these links are no longer trustworthy, its not in a position to vouch for them…for a human edited thing thats kinda sucky.Its akin to saying, hey don’t trust us, we are just a resource of randomly edited content with external links to sides of dubious repute.
