    This has nothing to do with Pretty Links. I get this on a number of WP installs and none of them even have this plugin. This is actually a spam issue caused by using search engines to display fake links to your site hoping that the content within the URL will display on your site, even if it is within an error page saying “yatta yatta” cannot be found.

    This is a WordPress issue in general. It’s annoying and at the moment, sadly, it doesn’t seem like WP has the slightest clue on how to fix it.
