Now there’s a headline that grabs your attention.

As part of my ongoing promotion campaign for my business site, I quickly designed and distributed a bunch of Wordpress themes. Nothing too clever – save that for the paying customers – but attractive enough for people to want to download and use. Originally, I obfuscated the footer of the template so anyone using it couldn’t remove the links to my site – the whole point of distributing it for free (a model which has worked fantasticly for Andreas Viklund, who’s site is now a PR8).

Big mistake.

Upon checking my backlinks I now see a smattering of links from such quality online publications as the “lesbian porn blog” and “teenage nymphos”. A number of porno sites have downloaded my lovely, innocent themes and are using them for distributing filth! Of course, this has commanded serious kudos from my male friends but could potentially be very embarrassing to explain to anyone who came across the sites (so to speak).
