Not sure I'm using the right words to explain this... I use Google Webmaster Tools. One area it shows are Crawl Errors. The table/list gives the link URL of my page, then a number for how many pages show that URL as a crawl error. This tool is supposed to give a webmaster an easy to view list of errors, so the webmaster can fix the error. Today, none of the crawl errors are internal errors (i.e. on my site). Instead, an outside site created an error by PARTLY using some of my content PLUS the link URL but with gibberish added so that the URL to MY content/page is broken. It looks like it's deliberately broken, or the party doesn't know how to write a webpage. Here is an example: http://islandparkchurch.org/pjr-hot-topic-boy.html More than half-way down that page is a photo of 2 boys stuck randomly into an unrelated sentence. Hovering over the picture, you get http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~florian/camps/camp_boys-friends_cr.jpg%22%20width=%2236%22%20height=%2250%22%20alt=%22image%22/%3E%3C/a%3E%3Ca%20href=%22/m/imgres?q=hot+topic+boy Other sites doing this are hosting companies (small ones), I guess as an attempt to increase their ranking?? I called the church one and told them because the "boy" links on their page get kinda rauchy. But, how do I deal with the rest of them? Or, do I let it go? Are the other websites and the broken links they made hurting my website in Google's eyes?
