Site Got Hacked! Need Help!

[DigitalJungle]

Hi Guys.

One of my friend's site got hacked 2 weeks ago, because of bad php script hole and Google indexed the pages which got hacked and all the Title Tags and Descriptions are indexed in the Google which is very embarssing situation. All adult content texts.

Right now we have solved the problem and closed the hole submitted the new sitemap, but Google is no longer coming back and refreshining the SERP.

We have been waiting for 3 weeks for now? What should we do?

Methods we tried so far:

1.Cleaned all meta tags generate new sitemap and submitted that to Google

2.Built some backlinks

3.Built some social bookmarks

Thanks!

that sucks, hackers are criminals

if it's the entire site you could request root domain removal in WMT and they will deindex the entire site

then it's simple to get the site indexed again, submit URL to google, link from prominent places, resubmit new sitemap to google etc. This ensures the old adult junk will go away instantly and the new stuff will appear.

what are your rankings like, if they are good and you are afraid of losing them then just be a little more patient, don't request the site to be deindexed and work on getting the crawlers coming back.

check your robots.txt to make sure they didn't hijack that file! they could be blocking Google from crawling in robots.txt

Hi Matthew,

Sorry to hear about the problems you've been having.

On top of what you have already tried, I would reccomend these three actions:

1. Share some of your content on G+, it get's indexed really quickly and will get the crawlers back on your site

2. Use blog ping to send some of your top pages to Google. By doing this and step 1, you will usually get content indexed within 24 hours

3. Create a list of all the bad URL's (using the Chrome scraper extension will make this easy), and submit them to be removed via Google Webmaster Tools (GWMT > Optimization > Remove URL's). In my experience this gets URL's removed within a couple of days, although I am led to believe that this varies dependant on the site.

Good luck

David
