Suspicious link!

Hello fellow Wealthy Affiliates,

I was hoping someone might be able to explain this link? I will try to explain how I discovered this. I was having a look at my site health and next to my Google Rank it had 100%, so I clicked on the link to google.com and the results are here for you to see.

The second 2 results are mine but when I clicked on the one I have circled, it went to the next screenshot (which isn't my site), but it says 'Brought to you by www.howtoretireearly.org - which is my site. When I click on that link, it does take me to my site.

I was wondering if anyone can explain this? Is this a backlink? and should I be worried about it? I was also curious about the 100% google rank. I only started the site 2 months ago. I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Kerry

i need to look at this closely.
It could be a spam link. looking for a free ride.

You should clear the cached web content and history from your browser.

Wordpress websites are, in general, susceptible to spam and spurious commentary. Unless you pick a complex theme that lets you block spam comments, you're going to get this stuff.

Hey Kerry it looks like some kind of backlink. I agree with Shawn. I'm learning that people do some strange stuff on the net. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Thanks Evelyn.

It looks like someone re posted your post at that blogspot addy and that re post got ranked, lol. Are you more confused now? lol

I have to admit Shawn, I am a little. Do you know if this is a good thing or not? And I'm still not sure about the 100% ranked. I am getting some traffic, but only a small amount.

I would say it is harmless myself, it would be a back link. As far as the 100 percent, are you seeing that on the Google results?

when I click on the link on my site health it comes up on the first page, 2nd and 3rd spots, but not if I do a basic google search. Thanks for always being around to help Shawn.

Make sure you are checking it in an incognito browser window

Sorry, the images didn't upload, so here they are. I hope it all makes sense!
