  Hi Guys,
  I found a spurious link in the ‘Clicks’ column of my stats supposedly from my blog. On investigation it turns out to be a weight loss site. The link code is: [redacted]
  I have no idea where this has come from or which post it has infiltrated if any. The URL for the site is: [redacted]
  Could my blog have been hacked?
  Best Regards,
  Roy (floroy1942)
