strange seo tactic?
i've never really bothered with seo before, but i recently had a play and apparently i have PR 4 .

but that aside, i found this site when running a keyword search for 'en3cl':

http://www.downloady.net/float-notes-1-1.htm

a page from my site is referenced in the section at the bottom,
Quote:
Structure - [ Traduzca esta página ]
... Size - 1em - for standard text and headers, 0.6em - for notes, 1.1em - for ... Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; font-size: 1em; float: left; color ...
www.bath.ac.uk/~en3cl/structure.html - 5k - En caché - Páginas similares


it is obviously too small to read, i assume this is some kind of seo tactic, could someone explain what they're doing, and if i should be worried?

edit----

i should probably point out that i have no idea what this site is or how a reference to my site would get on some kind of spanish illegal download site

They probably made a typo at their end and didn't mean to link to you at all? For example, I have a company linking to me thinking I am a mining company I haven't complained as all backlinks are solid gold according to the current Google algorithm. I wouldn't be worried about it. If the spanish site has a good PR I would be happy about it!

it's not a link though, it's just a honking great list of sites at the bottom about 100 of them, seemingly random...

www.eastbourne.gov.uk/Your_Home/ downloads/fire-safety2.pdf

www.tanzania.go.tz/images/AnnexesFINAL.pdf

www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/237/ie-5-mac-notes



and it's hardly a typo, they have a little snippet from my page

There are some really weird people out there!

edit, they have a PR 0

This is a pure ranking scam but nothing more
