It looks like a bug in the "Blog Link" gadget recently offered by Blogger. All of the spurious backlinks on my recent posts are from blogs that use that particular gadget, which updates your sidebar links with the latest post from each linked site. I just posted to the Blogger help group about the issue; we'll see what they say.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615194097431562045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-36962926566209729632008-12-16T10:19:00.000-05:002008-12-16T10:19:00.000-05:00I think you can remove each link (I can, but my bl...I think you can remove each link (I can, but my blog template isn't Blogger basic).

Also, Blogger isn't the most sophisticated when it comes to such things and, so far as I can tell, disabling them is about the only "security" feature it has.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-55502078698270564042008-12-16T09:45:00.000-05:002008-12-16T09:45:00.000-05:00Same here, but recently I have link on my blog to ...Same here, but recently I have link on my blog to my friend's post on his blog, and there is no link there...

If it's some bizarre random collection of letters or mentions gambling or sex, it's a spammer. If it's something like RPGBloggers.com or unclebear.com (one of the guys who has a feed in his sidebar), it's an RPG player who likes you.Joshua Macyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838733328132877699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-73430360037741936012008-12-16T09:35:00.001-05:002008-12-16T09:35:00.001-05:00Spam.

Happened to me once, too.
