  • Collin Davis: So if I understand correctly, this site is linking to you with an incorrect URL from its feedburner. Correct me in case I am wrong?

    Best way to approach this would be to get in touch with the webmaster and explain to them that they are linking incorrectly to your website. Thank them in the first place for linking to you but point out that it is the wrong page which will end up misguided and frustrated the users who are referred to your website.

    Most webmasters will respond and make the change but if that isn't the case and if you still dearly want a link from this page, then one strategy that you can do is to create a page with the exact same URL that they have linked you with and then 301 redirect them to the actual page that they should have done the linking to.

    That way you will also get benefit from the link plus its also great for your users.
