CRYING! ANYONE GOOD AT REMOVING LINKS?!

In Penelope Pit stop style...Heyelp!

I registered with a business listing last night, it asked for me to include a link, I then cancelled the entry as I don't do that and don't know how to do that.

I try to post an update of my website and they've added a link anyway!!!

I called them today at 14:00 and am waiting for them to get back to me...

I called Vistaprint, they asked for a screenshot, I sent it, they said they'd call me back...

How have they accessed your site to add their link?

No idea

When i pressed Submit, to finalise my supposed free listing, i was taken to another page which said my listing would be submitted for free if i added one of several of their following links.

I had to copy the link onto my page and then e-mail them directly telling them i had done it.

I 100% did not do this, if for no other reason than i have no idea whatsoever what 'copy into your page header' even means...when i read i had to link i just closed the page down.

I didn't get my call back today.

Fuming, i can't have that added to the end of my Facebook updates.

That's proper old ropey school, reciprocal linking. No directory should demand a link back in order to submit a listing and you rightly so ran a mile

Completely confused though, they physically can't add a link to your site, only you can do that.

The screen shot is a facebook share. Have you selected the share from their directory site? In which case that's why the link will show. If you have inadvertently shared a post, then just delete it from your facebook timeline.

Or has a link actually appeared on your site? If so can you show me where, because I can't see any on your website and it doesn't make any sense?

Hi Steve,

You've read a few of my posts so you'll know that I'm new to this, there is no way I added it as I don't know how.

Spoke to them today and they say they've taken me off the directory but the link will remain until Google take it off in 3 months or something?!

Sorry Kempres, I don't understand what you are saying?

Can you give me the link to a page on your website which is displaying the directory link. Or are you saying the directory link can be seen on your home page, because I can't see it?

When I update my site on VistaPrint, I press Publish essentially to let internet world know I've done something and to save it.

It then gives me the option to share my update on Facebook, if I say yes the link up top is attached.

I was on a Facebook forum today, when I typed in www.kempresretro.com the link was attached.

 I typed it again without the www and it wasn't attached
