I noticed all my SEOed sites are getting attacked constantly by viruses. I do wordpress sites. Does anyone have a good recommendation to protect my clients sites? thanks

We have tried all different kinds of security plugins but none seem to work long term.

Carla,
We have been using Sucuri for about 2 years now. I haven't tried it on a Magento site but imagine it would work just as well. I have had to submit probably 6 support tickets for malware removal in that time for various client sites and each time they have cleared it up within the hour. It is pretty great for peace of mind. The first time it happened we spent 3 days trying to figure out what was up and so Sucuri was just a no brainer at that point. All the best to you.

Hi Nathan,
Yes I am interested but I don't think your rates will work for us. We are in Argentina and with a very devalued currency at the moment. We are an Argentina Seo company. Thanks for offering.

Hi Joshua,
How long have you guys been using Securi? Do you use it on all your sites as a requirement? We purchased it for 5 sites just 3 months ago and so far it works. Have you ever applied Securi to a Magento site? Does it also reduce Spam?
Thanks

Thanks Mike. I will take a look at this post. We have tried most of this main points but every once in awhile the sites still get hacked. My clients are too "frugal" to pay Securi.

Carla,
We use http://sucuri.net/ to protect our wordpress sites. Not only does it offer some protection, but if you get hacked and have Malware, it tells you right away and real people from their company will remove the malware from your site and get it cleaned up within a couple hours. It's probably not the cheapest service on the market, but it works really really well.

Hi Carla,
Read this article on WordPress security goes into detail on, "... some common forms of vulnerabilities, and the things you can do to help keep your WordPress installation secure."
From my understanding, the gist of it is:
- Keep your installations up-to-date.
- Keep strong passwords and change them regularly.
- Remove unwanted plugins.
- Assign permissions to folders and files.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Hey Carla,
There are a bunch of different security measures you can take to protect your websites on the server side and on the wordpress side. My company specializes in WordPress Security. If you would like to PM I could give you some rates per site or a bundle for all of them.

Will SEO Moz index our keywords if the site is ALL https?
We have a site coming into beta next week. Playing around with SEO Moz, I had trouble getting the keywords to rank at all. Was this because the site is entirely https? If yes, what else can SEO Moz NOT do if the site is all https? Thanks!

Will training videos available on the "members only" section of a site contribute to the sites ranking?
Hello, I got asked a question recently as to whether training videos on the deeper pages of a website (that you can only access if you are a member and log in) will help with the sites ranking. On the SEOMoz software these deeper pages have been crawled as far as I can tell with errors reported on pages from the "members only" section of the site, leading me to believe the members only pages and their content will contribute to the sites overall ranking profile. I have suggested uploading the informational videos on the main pages of the site for now, making them accessible to all visitors and putting them in a more obvious place to encourage more sharing and views, however I've also said I would check it out with some experts so any information will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks 🙂 Charlotte

How to put news on your site from other sources and is it a good idea
Hi i have seen this site and have been watching it for some time and really like it. I would like to put news on my site for one topic and would like it displayed like this site does but i am not sure how they do it. here is the site http://www.topix.com/uk/grimsby I use joomla so i am not sure you can do exactly what they do where they have so much of the story before being sent over to the main site. Also i would like to know if this is a good idea or a bad idea as i am thinking this could take away my juice from my site any advice would be great.
