I am spending a lot of time trying to remove links from these sites as I dont want google to think I am trying to gain ranking positions from artificial link building. On the worst day I had 13,000 links built to my site on multiple wordpress websites.
An example of a page with a link to my site is:

Has anyone else experienced this and know of a way to stop it happening?
]]>WordPress plugin guidelines do not allow such links to be on by default.
What’s worse, there’s no Admin UI to remove the link which is gravely against WordPress provisions.

#4 restriction
The plugin must not embed external links on the public site (like a “powered by” link) without explicitly asking the user’s permission.

]]>And I keep getting an admin account added under the name doctor9. I delete it and it reappears.
I have asked Hostmonster support for help and they refer me back to WordPress.
I am using the latest version of WordPress and all plugins are regularly updated to the latest versions.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Thanks

I have spent months building a site with wordpress, and have a high ranking on Google. Recently the outgoing RSS feed from my site has been not working, running it through a feed validation site I get the resulting error line
This feed does not validate
Line 176, column 15:XML parsing error: <unknown.:176:15: junk after document element
…with a whole load of link spam showing up immediately after this highlighted line…
<!– google –><font style=”position: absolute;overflow: hidden;height: 0;width: 0″>
When I update wordpress the problem goes away and my RSS feed works, but only to return around 2 days later with the same problem…spam in my RSS feed and it not working. I installed the “bad behaviour” plugin immediately after updating but the problem comes back.
What can I do, short of wiping my wordpress installation and starting again? I want to act fast as I don’t want my Google rankings effected.
I have backups of exported XML files from my wordpress site.
Thanks
