Incoming Links Spam

Bhoney, I had the same problem myself sigh. ?? I had to email https://www.technorati.com support, directly..and they seemed to have removed the “links” I thought were “spam” related. ?? Maybe you should try that as well then.. even though it took a couple of days before it was done.. but hey.. it’s done atleast..

Thank you spencerp, I did what you said and 2 days later the spam is gone, even though Technorati never personally contacted me back ??

Perhaps this can be marked as resolved?

No problem. =) And yeah, they never contacted me about it either.. =/ Just two or three days later, it was gone.. =) Which, is still nice lol..

You can edit wp-admin /index.php to remove the incoming links. I just did this to protect my prostate cancer site’s blog from spam links. In “old” W-P (1.5) this is the code to remove:
<?php
$rss = @fetch_rss('https://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url='. trailingslashit(get_option('home')) .'&partner=wordpress');
if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
?>
<div id="incominglinks">
<h3><?php _e('Incoming Links'); ?> <cite><a href="https://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?url=<?php echo trailingslashit(get_option('home')); ?>&amp;partner=wordpress"><?php _e('More'); ?> &raquo;</a></cite></h3>
<ul>
<?php
$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 10);
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']); ?>"><?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Bye-bye!
