SNEAKY BACKLINKS. I just discovered unauthorised external links on some of my websites.

Basically I have been using a free Google Maps embed tool that doesn’t require an API key to generate maps on some of the websites I manage.

I did a link analysis on one of the websites last night and discovered that the homepage has 1 external link that goes to some mattress review website lol. It uses anchor text that doesn’t even exist on the page, so I used to inspect tool which pointed out the map as the source.

Checked the other website where I’ve embedded a map from the same source and they all have those sneaky backlinks going through it.

Has anything similar ever happened to you?
