Maybe there is a link to your site somewhere with your name as anchor text. It happens.

Perhaps this is the answer: Do a Google search on surfgatinho cornwall24 :)

Yeah, that occured after I posted but can't find any inbounds with that anchor text.
I only use the name on forums and they only use names as anchor text to profiles from my experience.
Not that site.
If I search for both site and username I just get results where the 2 are on the same page

Look harder! There are 8,058,044,651 web pages out there. At least.

LSI may be the hidden clue. Google related your alias with the mention of your sites.

Yes, thankyou for pointing that out! However, not that many contain the term surfgatinho and from what I can tell they are all from forums or script type sites where the ancchor text to my site is never my username.
I admit it is possible that somewhere there is that anchor text, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

There's probably a little icon somewhere with the alt text "nickname's homepage" which it's matching. That, or anchor tag has a title attribute.

I think you may have given weight to the idea that words around a link are very important and become relevant in a similar way to anchor text.

Does the link in Google take you to anywhere where there are further clues?...it might be a silly question, but did you click on the link?

OK, it's the same on Yahoo and MSN so obviously it's nothing too clever!

If the name of the site you're talking about starts with an a, then I did find a link to it with your nick in the anchor text. It's just well hidden - you have to look in the actual source. :) Do a search in Yahoo for "link:http://yoursitename.co.uk surfgatinho". Have a look at the html source of the third result - you'll find a link to the site in question as follows: <a href="http://yoursitename.co.uk">Visit surfgatinho's homepage!</a>

I had a look out of curiosity and found it in about 5 minutes - it's straight anchor text in a link, but not visible on the page - unless you log in or something. I'll pm you the page <edit>Oops - Boaz got there first</edit>

Doh!
OK so I wasn't very thorough! Interesting that a some hidden anchor text can have an effect though.
