We have found some of limousine services companies listed on our new
website http://www.limoservice.ws but I do not see how they got to there. Is
there automatic submission of these limo services or like that? We did
not permit GoDaddy
anything like that.

Do you pay GoDaddy to host your site, or are you using their free hosting?

Hello binamica-ga,

I read you question it is pretty interesting ,They might have acess to
the your ftp password if thats not the case it might be one of your
staff members has authorised them .I would recommend that you install
a firewall on your pc buya strong one, If you are hosting your website
from a website hosting company there might be a possibliby that when
you typed in your password there might be a spyware on your computer
that has noticed your password and now using it.If you still find the
ads coming then i would recommend that you find and contact website
hacking assessment company they will assess your website if you have
any promblems with it.

Why do not you think that it is somebody from competetive limo service industry?

if you are using free hosting that explains it. Contact GoDaddy and if
they dont do anything, do you normally have ads there?

"We have found some of limousine services companies listed on our new

Um, presumably someone added them via your "add a link" page.

It doesn't appear that any authorization is necessary; one simply
submits a link and responds to the activation email.  It's not clear
what the issue here is; certainly it has nothing to do with GoDaddy or
ftp passwords.

I think that there is a flaw in your system. Is it possible that
someone has registered with you but not submitted a way to bill them,
or a fake one. So they have got on the site without paying. OR are
they paying but not registering properly?
