Penalized In Google ?
-
Hello Guy´s.
Im terrible sad because we make an amazing SEO job for this client:
And the website was hacked..
Message from the hosting platform:
"It would appear that malicious individuals have found a way to upload spam
pages as well as backdoors to your site(s). We
have disabled the page(s) in question (via removing their permissions, e.g..
chmod) until you are able to address this matter."Result: we loose all our SERP
Somebody of yours was in a similar situation ?
Notes:
-
I was on Google Webmaster an anything seem to be normal.
-
The domain was relative new, maybe a late sandbox efect ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Matias

This really sounds like the hosting company moving blame to you.
Why not change hosting, i would do it quickly.
Do you have a image upload? seing the pages are in your image folder.
If so you can add some code to make sure it is actualy images that you are uploading.

Hi Alan.
I think they entered through weak folder permissions. They upload html content in our "image" folder.
The website still in Google index but, we loose more than 50 positions.

Thanks

Sounds like your hoster has a problem not you.
How aree you to blame, what on the pages that they blocked? forms that allow html input (html editor)?

I have 100+ Landing Pages I use for PPC... Does Google see this as a blog farm?
I am currently using about 50-100 domains for geotargeted landing pages for my PPC campaigns. All these pages basically have the same content, I believe are hosted on a single unique ip address and all have links back to my main url. I am not using these pages for SEO at all, as I know they will never achieve any significant SEO value. They are simply designed to generate a higher conversion rate for my PPC campaigns, because they are state and city domains. My question is, does google see this as a blog/link farm, and if so, what should I do about it? I don't want to lose any potential rankings they may be giving my site, if any at all, but if they are hurting my main urls SEO performance, then I want to know what I should do about it. any advice would be much appreciated!

How do you change the 6 links under your website in Google?
Hello everyone, I have no idea how to ask this question, so I'm going to give it a shot and hopefully someone can help me!! My company is called Eteach, so when you type in Eteach into Google, we come in the top position (phew!) but there are 6 links that appear underneath it (I've added a picture to show what I mean). How do you change these links?? I don't even know what to call them, so if there is a particular name for these then please let me know! They seem to be an organic rank rather than PPC...but if I'm wrong then do correct me! Thanks! zorIsxH.jpg

Does Trade Mark in URL matter to Google
Hello community! We are planning to clean up TM and R in the URLs on the website. Google has indexed these pages but some TM pages are have " " " instead displaying in URL from SERP. What's your thoughts on a "spring cleaning" effort to remove all TM and R and other unsafe characters in URLs? Will this impact indexed pages and ranking etc? Thank you! b.dig

Should you include keywords in your domain name to rank well on Google Places?
Is it okay to include keywords in your domain name (as well as business name) to rank well on Google Places? In my opinion, this is very spammy and the sites using this technique will be slapped by Google sooner or later.

Backlinks According to Google
Good Morning, Google has just recognized some links going to my site. I used a seo toolbar downloaded from firefox that informed me of the Links according to Google. My question is that them links have been there for ages and Google has only just recognized them. Is there a reason for this? Does Google only show links quarterly or half yearly? Thanks SEO_123
