I believe my post will provide some revelant information for you guys:
#1) I don't run any ST copy and sites where affected. These sites were #1 in premium keywords for about 5000/day traffic.
#2) I just started checking this out, and already found a reason. Let's say a domain.com site. I did a check for site:domain.com and before I just had one page indexed in google (domain.com), now I have like 20. The pages google have cached are stuff like this:
domain.com/?ref=herseybedava.info
domain.com/?ref=jtqk.com
domain.com/?ref=parax.info
domain.com/?ref=YediNet.com
domain.com/?ref=pislikcs.com
domain.com/?ref=mesajx.info
domain.com/?ref=arabulursun.net
domain.com/?ref=bulara.info
domain.com/?ref=webkizi.com
domain.com/?ref=colegialasvirgenes.da.ru
domain.com/?x=0675.
domain.com/?ref=
domain.com/?ref=BestSearch.org
domain.com/?ref=paylasimturkey.biz
domain.com/?ref=sirket10.info
domain.com/?ref=aradibuldu.com
domain.com/?ref=hanzuo.com
domain.com/?ref=Klasistanbul.Com
domain.com/?ref=zevklivideo.com
I have no idea why, but google indexed those pages. On my domains that did get the -60 penalty (as these sites are all now in position 61 now and were #1) they have those crap indexed by google, all others that are still in #1 do not have those shits. So this must be the reason. This is clearly someone spamming the sites, as all those ref= links are banned/spammers URLs ... I can make it happen to make all those links result in 404 but I don't see a reason why google is indexing those ones really, as anyone can send traffic to any website as ?ppp=CP for example then is that enough for google indexing that page that has the CP query? This is ridiculous...
As you can see, even if I block the ?ref ones, I can already see one spammer starting the ?x= query, so maybe I will need to block all queries and only let domain.com available.
If you know how to help me regarding why google is indexing those weird links, plz let me know.
