gggrrrrrr!!
I am really p---d off!! - REALLY I AM!!
I set up some Google alerts, stuff like "textile art" "cloth dolls" just time wasting little things that let me know when someone has written something about them,
(like I need more blasted links to follow!!) (sorry Paula, lots of exclamation marks in this one)
anyways - one of the alerts I set up was for my full name, which lets me know if anyone mentions me by name - it very seldom happens, but today an alert came through with my name and a link to "sculptured dolls" - which when I clicked was a BLOODY PORN site!! (more exclamations)
It has picked up the meta tag description from my web site and used it to lure people in to their dirty little site - do they really think cloth doll people want to ogle hard sculpted naked bodies (don't answer that!!) (exclamation) I suppose you could call it anatomical research....
So I've just spent hours re-wording the meta tags leaving my name out, which involved downloading files then uploading again to the server.
I've been thinking about deleting the web page and just using the blog, much simpler to use, and the web site is so out of date, I need days to write new pages - this might have just been the push I need, we'll see.
Meantime, just watch out where your mouse is taking you!

Sorry there are so many unscrupulous types out there who'll do anything for a buck. It's understandable that you're mad!
i think a few exclamation marks are warranted for this sorry tale. what a pain in the bum!!!
It happened to me too. Russian? I usually ignore them now. If you use google mail you get a snippet of the first line in the inbox so you can tell sometimes.
I also get alerts to blogs that must have a link to mine in the 'blog list' sidebar. Its not that they've written anything about me. I use 'stat counter' now and look at 'came from' to give me an idea of where I have been linked.
thanks guys, I shouldn't get so upset, knowing the nature of the internet, just that when it's using YOUR name ...Jackie I get those alerts too which must be picking up from the blog list, have to look for 'stat counter' I've got site meter and feedjit, but seldom go into their details.
