Remove hidden links

Can you give me some examples?

tim

I recently marked the 404 links as fixed in Webmaster Tools under crawl errors. They looked like: theweeklynugget.com/viagra-is-great

Google just crawled my site and found two new 404s under smartphones:

https://theweeklynugget.com/cash-online-subtitrat/

https://theweeklynugget.com/cash-advance-places-in-canton-ohio/

I really don’t understand what’s happening, these links are hidden somewhere on my site, right? Or is someone just using my domain on a spam site and Google thinks they are on my site? If that’s true, is there anything I can do other than keep marking them as fixed?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, forgot to say that the links are usually listed under “Not Found” rather than “Soft 404”

Hi! I also had the same problem. I could not find where the malware code was, so I’ve done a new website. If I do a WF scan, everything seems to be ok, but if I look for some words as “viagra” or “cialis” in my database, I get results on wfHits table. What is this? Maybe some links that link to my website? WP tables seem to be clear…

Thanks!!!!

What tables do they show up in?

Hi Tim,

They appair in wp_wfHits and wp_wfNet404s.

Thanks

Ok, then it looks like those are just incoming requests, probably to page not found errors like when someone (or someBOT, rather) tries to hit https://www.yoursite.com/buy-cheap-viagra. We log that and purge the data once an hour (or so). If you recently cleaned the site, it may be the bots trying to come back and find those pages or database entries in your post table. You can probably disregard these.
