  My blog has today had many visits from something linked to it without my knowledge. The site is called ‘reddit’ and, according to Google, is a bad thing – porn and mischief of all kinds. How can I break this link or can you do it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Reddit is a social network and any member can link to any post in you blog and post it on Reddit. http://en.reddit.com/ The links are not “dangerous”. The only way to prevent anyone from linking to your blog is to make the visibility private. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Hi there.

  My opinion: Reddit isn’t a bad thing necessarily. It’s more of a community of everything — which also includes things like mischief or porn if go looking for it, just like everywhere on the internet.

  My advice would be not to worry; traffic is traffic. Take it as a compliment and don’t worry about it.

  Well, that’s certainly reassuring, wpvscmr! Thank you.
