Sounds like a typical page hijacking via 302 redirect. Welcome to the club...

Billyg,

OR

[google.com...]

So far, no one knows what is to be done in such a case except email those websites and ask them to remove your link or change the 302 to something else. Google too hasn't been particularly helpful yet.

And mind you, you are not alone.
