Google showing malware attack, how to remove ?
-
Someone just reported that our website was showing malware attack page on their browsers.
We checked and saw a bad php code on the above of our index.php file.
We removed it and made it clean.
Still all the visitors are getting malware attack page.
How to fix this ?
Site is already clean.

Hi Soumendra,
Is this resolved? if so, how long did it take to get resolved? Or do you still need some help?
-
Okay, I just checked on Sucuri , Google diagnostics, etc and it says, site is clean , but status is blacklisted by Google.
So, I have to wait for Google now.
Already applied on WMT for review and posted at WMT forums as well.
People at WMT said, it takes few hours to 24 hours only.

Might take a couple of days unfortunately, but should be only a few hours.
The malware error is not being produced by people coming to the site specifically, as in it's not being checked and generated each time.
Google itself is probably getting the data from stopbadware (I think) and you'll find it's only on certain browsers as well that subscribe.
Rather than rely on solving the problem through WMT I had better success by tackling a similar problem through the stopbadware (or whatever site it is) channels.
Try accessing the site through bing/google on IE/FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari and see what advice is thrown up during the warning. It should give you a link to the appropriate site to fix things on.
In fact, try going here - http://stopbadware.org/home/reviewinfo - use the tool and then request a check.

Went to Google Webmaster Tools and clicked on SUBMIT SITE FOR REVIEW AGAIN.
Did it.
How much time does it take for this ?

Google Acquisition & Audience Segmentation
Hi. I'm trying to figure out a solution to two questions one of my current clients has asked me in regards to Google Analytics tagging, and I'm unsure how to respond. Can anyone help? See below the questions, 1. In Google Acquisition > Overview, their paid media is reporting as "Other". They do not run any Google paid ads. They only run Facebook paid ads. Is there a way to update the source so that it says "Paid" versus "Other" within the default channel? The current solution was advised to create a channel group that the client has to then tick on overtime they want to see this data with the correct labeling. They would prefer to see it in the default. Is it just a matter of going into the *default channel, choosing the "Paid" option, and then specifying the source/medium that contains Facebook, CPC, or referral to be categorized under this channel? Or is it something else? *Aware that changes to the Default Channel are permanent changes and will change how new traffic is classified. 2. Audience segmentation > The client wants to be able to define it's audience by shopping intent and informational intent. Is there a clear way to do this, for example, by keywords used, e.g. buy, product name, entry (shopping intent), versus e.g. non-purchase intent, entry to the blog, length of time on site (info intent). Would be happy to have a conversation about the last question, since I'm conscious that there are probably multiple ways to define this - thanks. To the group, thank you for readying my questions and helping me with these solutions - your time is appreciated and valued. Sincerely, Amanda

Why do all traffic curves show a "saw tooth" pattern in Google Analytics
Greetings Mozzers This sounds like a dumb question, but it's bothering me just the same and I would like to think what the fine community of SEO experts at MOZ thinks I have taken a look at the traffic curve for about 20 different sites in very different industries (home improvement, wedding party supplies, pet feeding systems) and it seems to me that they all show a saw tooth pattern, more or less like the one below.

Google reconsideration nightmare
Hello and thanks in advance The website has had a penalty on it for a while now, around 10 months, it was worked on by an agency who bought bad links to it but before then it was worked on by other agencies that may have done the same. I cleaned up as many bad link (according to many posts read) and filled for reconsideration and was told to get rid of a whole bunch of links which i did not know existed. Downloaded WMT links as instructed by Google admin person and contacted a heap of people which took a lot of man hours and cost us a fortune. Resubmitted and again was shown a handful of links by the Google admin person and told to contact and remove. The funny thing is that a few of them I disavowed in my list so they should not have pointed these out. I emailed back and showed that everything I could do was done and am happy to disavow any other link which they though violated their terms. This was not enough and I was told to show more efforts in removing links and then resubmit for reconsideration. I have done as much as I can on the website, I cannot see any more links which show violation, if there are some I am happy to remove but am now at a stage where i need direction from others to tackle this matter. Any advice would be helpful; I cannot start over from scratch as it's a brand and not a small website.

Best way to remove worthless/thin content?
I have a Wordpress site with about 3,000 pages and 1,000 of those are no value/duplicate content and drive no traffic. They are blog posts each with a single image and permalinks like example.com/post1, example.com/post2 etc. I've started by deleting pages and 301 redirecting to relevant pages that actually have content. Is deleting and 301 redirecting the best route? Is 1,000 to many 301 redirects? Should I just delete the pages that aren't really relevant to anything else? Anything else I should know about deleting all of these pages? Any help would be great!
