Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Marcus!

But I am still a litlle worried, because it seems to me that these sites where set up with ALT=nameofmyurl in order to somehow harm the my site's google rank (especially looking at the fact that all of the sites are blocked by google due to potential harmful software they have).

Hey Marcus,

thanks gor your help. We do all of our link building in-house, so we exactly know where we put our links.

COming back to the problem: There are several sites with the same trustworthiness level (very low) and all of them have the same pattern: Several pictures (ours by the way)  are placed on the given pages with ALT "nameofmyurl" (most of the pictures are taken from our server with the help of hotlinks). The pictures are not linked.

As I understand, this will not harm my site's google rank?

Hey Guys,

I am writing to SEOmoz community because a problem occurred which I do not know how to solve:

My domain (xyz.com) occured on very strange sites with very low trustworthiness (even blocked by google). Checking the site, I found out that all of the pictures were ALT=xyz.com.

Could this hurt my position of my site on google rankings? How to prevent such actions, what should I do?

Thanks for you help in advance!
