Re: Can anyone explain this link to me?
What could the site owner do to prevent this? Disallow the talklikeapirate directory in his robots.txt? If so, I will ask him.
That’s right.

Re: Can anyone explain this link to me?
Thanks, Mary. By now he’s got three mails from me ;) going from very angry to an apology in the last one, I doubt if he would have thought of the consequences.

I’m not sure what you mean? I found it by following a referrer link in the logs.

Adactio is the site of JavaScript master Jeremey Keith, who is a Web Standards guru and all-around upstanding netizen. I remember when he put up that script in celebration of “Talk Like a Pirate” Day. If it affecting your search results, I doubt it was with malicious intent.
After enduring years of Art School, mild mannered Owen Waring noticed some unusual changes… the constant bombardment of criticism, it seems, had altered his DNA. Half pixel pusher, half programmer, he had become…. THE BIZARTIST

Re: Can anyone explain this link to me?
Thanks for telling me this. No, I don’t think at all it was intended maliciously, and as I said I apologized to him in my last mail for the earlier one which might have looked like an accusation. No reply so far though… ah well, holidays ;)
