Something fishy is going on.....

**dragonhawk28** · 07-17-2008 10:35 AM

I admit, I don't know a lot about SEO and website design, but what I am seeing on my "What googlebot sees" and what is getting indexed through google is all wrong.

I have an affiliate site about mens clothes, but when I go into my webmaster tools this a little example of what Googlebot sees:

Destyn Girl Mesa Spanked Arizona Being

Wet Mesa Diaper Destyn Stories Arizona

Sleigh Reindeer Paint Brush Flying And Giant Pictures

Alaska Giant Department Brush Paint Game Fish

How Wear Bdu You Do Brush Paint Giant

Jobs Engine Boat Dallas Botox Injections Mechanic

Show Brush Brisbane Truck Paint Giant

Arizona Rv Tx County Wise Mesa In Parks

Boat Yolanda Engine King Mechanic Memorial Jobs

None of this stuff has anything remotely to do with my site, so I don't know if the All in one SEO pack for wordpress is what is messing with things or if the security of my site has been violated.

Anyone have any ideas what could possibly be going on?

Is your site made using some like PHPbans or joomla?
It's possible that you've had code injected by someone else.

Load the site in a browser, right click, and go to View Source Code. Use the search tool to find some of that text and see where it's at.

If you're running a static site, just remove it and change all your FTP, cPanel, email, etc. passwords. If you're running a CMS, you may have to have someone take a look around to find where it's being injected.

That stuff is on your site?

**dragonhawk28** · 08-13-2008 10:27 AM

Nope, that stuff wasn't on my site at all. It seems that some BH hacker got into my site. They were able to have a 404 redirect to a php script in the same directory.

His keywords got ranked...mind didn't.

My host went in and cleaned up all of the redirects hopefully get me back to normal.

Good service.

Whos the host?

Website Hosting Services - Web Hosting, Site, Ecommerce, Domain, VPS Services, Dedicated Plans

They have been great with me. They even take the time to explain exactly what they are doing because since I am new to all of this, I have a lot of questions.

I have a Wordpress site and experienced being injected by spam links just somewhat like yours. I tested my plug-ins by doing a trial & error check. Checking all the codes and looking for something that must not be there. I have found the spam links by testing it through a Cloaking Detector. I would say that WP is not good regarding security issues. You better use plug-ins for securities.

Sometimes plugins or distributions from non-official sites have been injected with malware too.

**MichaelMelen** · 08-16-2008 03:04 AM

how would a hacker even get into wordpress?
were you able to confirm that it was malware or is this you just guessing?

let us know when the info gets back to normal.

Any CMS has security flaws.

Easily enough. It happens all the time.

Wordpress isn't just the website.
They also provide a script that you can load on to your own website, provided you have SQL database access.
THOSE are the Wordpress sites that usually get hacked.

It's one of the reasons I often tell people that blogs are for beginners.
If you're really going to making some serious dough, driving traffic direct to landing page offers, particularly CPA/PPS driven ones are where it's at.

I'll see your landing page and raise you a subscriber list
