My Wordpress Organic Blog traffic disappeared and Google is indexing Viagra and Online Med titles for some articles. How to fix that?
-
Hello,
I'm worried that all my organic traffic has disappeared according to Analytics from past friday and now Google is showing results from my title tags in the last days as you can see here: http://goo.gl/QFSgy
Is there any additional resources I can read apart from Google Clean Your site Guidelines here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/163634 or the Wordpress FAQ for hacked sites here? http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked
Very much appreciated all of your help!
Regards.

I just added the plugin you recommended. I hope it works. Thanks for the tip http://wordpress.org/plugins/gotmls/

I agree with Streamline. We used Sucuri.net to clean up malware. Worpress sites are great but very buggy. They always get viruses. You have to buy extra protection. Sitelock is another good choice.

I highly recommend using this plugin to scan your site for malware/exploits and automatically fix them for you - http://wordpress.org/plugins/gotmls/
Then once the site is confirmed to be clean, submit your site to Google within GWT to get them to review your site and remove any malware warnings from the SERPs.

How to make google crawl our repository to make our site rank but make sure users dont go to our repository ?
We have a website that has links to documents related to various sectors. But the challenge is we do not have the documents on the website itself and they are linked to our document repository that has been blocked to google. We have put nofollow and noindex to the repository. Since Google can not read those documents, it has resulted in an impact in our SEO ranking. What would be the best way to make Google crawl the PDF documents in the repository at the same time make it invisible the "repo" not appear in the search engines. Would dofollow and noindex sequence work ?

Wordpress, Programming Forums?
Are there any Wordpress forums where amateurs can ask questions about programming. My intent it to better understand the complexity of certain tasks and what would be a reasonable amount of time to complete them so my developer does not rip me off by billing me ten hours for a task that takes them ten minutes. Thanks,

I changed the {Site Name} of our domain by capitalizing a letter. 48 hours later our SEO rankings are bad. How long does it take to rebound our prior rankings. The {site name} was at the end of every page title.
I changed the {Site Name} of our domain slightly and capitalized a letter. The impact 48 hours later on SEO is really, really bad. How long does it take to recapture our prior rankings and should I change the site name back to the original? The {site name} was at the end of every page title. Thanks for any help/advice on this. We worked so hard to get our business on the first page for many keywords and "POOF" we are gone now.

Help Finding Specific SEOMoz Blog Post - Help meh puhleeze
Hi everyone! Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. I'm having trouble finding a specific blog post (from the SEOMoz blog), that was pertaining to content writing. I think (but could be wrong), that it was written by Rand, but I'm having the most difficult time finding it. The overall theme of the post was about Writing/Blogging about topics OUTSIDE of whatever your niche is. I didnt bookmark the thread (doh!), but the theme of it was to basically not just write about stuff pertaining to your niche on your blog. but to write about other topics as well (I.E if I have a site about blue widgets, not only writing about blue widgets). Is there anyone that is familiar with the post that I am referring to that could possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks a ton
