Bloody Wikipedia!
Someone wrote an article for Wikipedia and included a live link to one
of my sites. Fine, I thought - it's an unsolicited inbound link. Not
sure of the quality, but what the hell?
Then some septic left-handed w*nker scraped the Wikipedia text and
stuck it on around 2,000 spam domains. Overnight I went from ca. 250
high quality earned links to 2,300 - the majority of which were spam
and totally out of my control.
Google seemed to spot it and the SERPs position didn't suffer - but
link: hasn't worked for me on Google since.
But I must admit it is spectacularly dumb to post spam to a Google
newsgroup from Googlepages.
