Chinese Sites Linking With Bizarre Keywords Creating 404's

[alrockn]

Just ran a link profile, and have noticed for the first time many spammy Chinese sites linking to my site with spammy keywords such as "Buy Nike" or "Get Viagra".  Making matters worse, they're linking to pages that are creating 404's.

Can anybody explain what's going on, and what I can do?

May concern was these screwed up links would somehow impair ranking, but I guess not.  Thanks for the link.

EGOL knows what he/she/it's talking about. You can report and disavow if you'd like, but worry about yourself. These people don't go away and are better off ignored if they aren't directly effecting your marketing efforts.

I'm not saying I want to chase them.  I'm not about to submit emails to each of these sites, since it's obvious they don't speak English.  On the other hand, I do possess all the urls, and I would like to report them...somewhere.  This is abuse, and should be stopped.

There are more of these than you have time to chase.

Improve your own site and forget about this is the best use of your time.

Below is a sample link...not the word "hollister" used throughout the page..

Whether is accidental or intentional, there's got to to be something I can do to get back at these jokers.

These are usually businesses who have robots that crawl the web, grab sentences, grab images, grab URLs and slap them together onto a website.

They often have crappy programmers that screw up the format of the site or make other errors.  One error is miswritten URLs that hit error pages on your site.

This is a common problem.  All of my sites have these types of links.

Cussing provides some relief.

What if this is intentional?  Furthermore this problem is spread across many sites.

Weasel businesses with incompetent programmers.

Not much you can do about it, unless you want to go to China and grab them by the tie.
