    Search Engine Traffic Scam?

    Hey all,

    I could use some advice about a situation that's just popped up.

    I've discovered that a guy that I've been trying to work with on a reciprocal arrangement is pulling some weird stuff.

    I was in Google today and I did an allinurl:www.universal-bear.com to see if some new pages I've putting up have been indexed.

    I see this there as well: http://www.hairystudsvideo.com/hairy...ersal-bear-com For some reason the URL isn't displaying properly here: the /hairy/hairy/ is directly followed by www-universal-bear-com


    When you click the link, you go to his site's entry page, not a page about Universal Bear. Well actually, there's not even a page in that URL, it's just a directory.

    All of this leads me to believe the guy is just trying to scam traffic from people typing Universal Bear into Google. Am I off base?

    Is this likely to cause me any problems with Google?

    I've asked him to stop, but obviously I'm at his mercy.

    Suggestions? Thoughts? Opinions?
