Thanks for the replies.

I checked out the threads about hijacking but it doesn't seem to fit what I am seeing. As I mentioned before, site:example.com, doesn't return anything at all. inurl:example.com returns only two listings, both of which are harmless "Alexa type" website rating sites. (The site gets good marks from them, if you were wondering.) Also, searching for unique phrases found on my site doesn't turn up anything at all.

One odd thing is that link:example.com only returns one result. It used to return a lot more than that, though I don't have an exact number. Yahoo has the link count at about 300, many of which are from "good" sites, like DMOZ and Wikipedia.

If I search for my domain name on Google, I get more than 100 listings of sites linking to me. Nearly all of which have nothing but good things to say about the site. I haven't solicited links for this site in more than two years. It's just gotten them naturally once the site saw some exposure.

As to blackhat stuff, I've never been into that stuff and I don't have any interest to be either. Mostly, I just try to write articles that people will like and leave at that.

This is so irritating because I know that people like this site. I ran across numerous times people saying things like "This is the best site on the net to find..." The site has also been mentioned in a fair share of smaller publications and on the radio. This probably doesn't seem relevant but I just want to stress that this site is really well liked and not the least bit blackhat.

Got any other ideas? Anybody else have this happen recently?
