Great post John, really useful advice as ever. I was just wondering, are you going to be writing any more posts and updating the blog anytime soon?

Thanks John. Geesh, it’s hard enough for most folks just to get a decent site up, develop good web content, and get it in front of the right audiences. Worrying about hackers, pagerank theives, and the rest is just overwhelming.

Luckily, we have folks like you holding our hands. Thanks.

good article.

but actually this hack is too easy notice.

more harder to find if they integrate a javascript to your pages that will run when someone opens your site.

Hey,
interesting post, however i was wondering.. what if you DO get hacked and something like this happens to your website?

i mean: does google detect this and just freeze your pagerank until you have solved this?

would like to have an awnser on it

this is happening a lot to my sites. I really hate it!!! My raking keeps fluctuating and i am sure it is because of hackers doing the same darn thing. It makes me mad because i work hard to keep my sites in tip-top-shape and good rankings. I will be looking deeply into this and make some changes to my sites and the way people interact.

Hiyas

I have the same problem at site http://www.arizona-bowling.com , but after deleting the code responsible for redirecting in .htaccess file the problem was not solved. Can you help with that?

As a relative novice to the internet and still learning the ins and outs of websites i did not realise this was possible so thanks for info and another bit of knowledge added to my head and one that i will definitely remember.

[...] 以上两端代码都会导致将google爬虫的请求重定向到ahtung.co.in。删除前面两端代码，google爬虫的请求就会正常了。(至于，为什么有人会转发google爬虫的请求？参考这里) [...]
