You may have missed my point. Sucuri didn't fix my problem either, but when I hired Michael (see link in my response above) he had the expertise to fix it. I agree with EGOL that in some cases you need to hire a pro.
(I have no allegiance or connection to Michael other than the fact that he saved me so much headache after weeks of struggling with malware that other people couldn't fix.)

I did also hired sucuri, but it was not worthing, becuase with the instaled pluggin they keep geting control of my web
now they can not get in my web just because they are being blocked by OSE wp firewall

I can recommend someone very good. My website was affected by malware. I first contacted my host and they did a few things that we thought fixed the problem but it came back. Then I hired sucuri. I believe that for many virus problems sucuri is good, but they couldn't get this one. It came back every single day and got harder and harder to detect.
A friend recommended Michael VanDeMar. (You can contact him here.) It took him a little while but he uncovered the problem. It was a sneaky malware that would only appear on computers using internet explorer, and not all the time. Plus, it would hide itself when someone from the host's IP was trying to find it. Michael fixed it for me. His rates were really fair. It cost me just a little bit more than sucuri.

If you do a full reinstall it might work.
The problem could be in the pluggins as they are installed - or they could have vulnerability that is exploited after install. If you were running an old version of wordpress, it could have holes.
The problem could be on your computer and it gets into your wordpress when you upload files, the server could have openings that are being exploited.
There are so many ways for these things to happen.

You think that if i install wordpress again and all pluggins again this will stop?
in the last hour another 250 attacks to different urls
Any recommendation of someone who can handle this for me?
thanks

I would hire a pro.
These types of problems can be very difficult to solve and can come from a variety of sources.
I would contact them and ask how much to clean a wordpress install. I bet the price is lower than you think.

A Sitemap Web page & A Sitemap in htaccess - will a website be penalised for having both?
Hi I have a sitemap url already generated by SEO Yoast in the htaccess file, and I have submitted that to the search engines. I'd already created a sitemap web page on the website, also as a helpful aid for users to see a list of all page urls. Is this a problem and could this scenario create duplicate issues or any problems with search engines? Thanks.

I'm Getting Attacked, What Can I Do?
I recently noticed a jump in my Crawl Errors in Google Webmaster Tools. Upon further investigation I found hundreds of the most spammy web pages I've ever seen pointing to my domain (although all going to 404 errors): http://blurchelsanog1980.blog.com/ http://lenitsky.wordpress.com/ These are all created within the last week. A. What the hell is going on? B. Should I be very concerned? (because they are 404 errors) C. What should my next steps be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Merging Sites - consolidation of your my web sites
I have had 3 tourism web sites for many years (each site represents a different place in Costa Rica) and they cross link with each other. www.monteverdetours.com is the main site - the most important one. In order to help ranking and to comply with all the new google changes.... I have recently been advised that (page by page, I should incorporate the other site, www, arenalvolcanotours.com into the monteverde site with 301s, In other words there will be a new directory on monteverde called /arenal-volcano-tours which will be the new home page for the arenal section. So page by page I can map the old URL's to the new URL's eg arenalvolcanotours.com/arenal-hotels-economy.html

301 redirect to
monteverdetours.com/arenal-volcano-tours/arenal-hotels-economy.html Now my monteverde site was once penalized by google and I am worried that doing this might have an adverse effect (although the thinking behind doing this change is because google prefers it to all the cross linking and also I will be able to consolidate all the links from Arenal into Monteverde). I respect the person who made the suggestion but I was interested in opinions from other people! I want to be positive this is a good ideas before undertaking this major work! Any opinions would be appreciated!0 -
Bot or Virus Creating Bad Links?
Hey Everyone, We are getting ready to engage a client for some potential marketing/SEO so in preparing for this have ran the site through OpenSiteExplorer. The site is relatively new and there are only two links under the inbound links section. They are relevant and add value, no issues there. Here is where it get strange. When I look under the 'Just Discovered' section there are many (hundreds) new links going back about a month. Virtually all of them have the anchor text 'Louis Vuitton outlet'. Now the client swears he has not engaged anyone for black hat SEO, so wondering who could possibly be creating these links. They do sell some Louis Vuitton items on the site, so I'm wondering if it is possible that some spam bot has picked up the site and began to spam the web with links to the clients site. So far today, 50 or so new links have been created with said anchor text and the clients root URL all on very poor quality, some foreign blog sites. Would like to find out why this is happening and put a stop to it for obvious reasons. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be a bot? Or maybe someone with an axe to grind against the client? Anyone could be doing this on their own, but just seems strange for it to be happening to a new site that does not even rank highly at the moment. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Spamlink attack wat to do
Since today we had a spamlink attack. Just 150 dirty links in one morning and probably more to follow. Last year we also had an attack and we used the disalow. But this domain had a much stronger histrory and a PR of 6. The new domain has an authority (DA36) and PR1. The domain is very valuable and we rank on page on one of the most competitive words. Should I use the disalow tool, or just hope that the spam links don't hurt my ranking. I have some (150) valuable incoming links. Example of bad link: http://lamevabarcelona.com/una-exposicio-ens-guia-per-barcelona/dscn0756/ I think X Rumer/ pingback is used. I hope somebody can help us with this.

Black Hat Attack! Seeking Help
Hello, For the first time, I think my site has been the victim of a black hat (spam) attack 😞 I have a blog in a competitive niche and my rankings suddenly dropped (from top 3 to top 20). A quick peek at my latest backlinks using Open Site Explorer "Just Discovered" revealed some nasty looking comment spam links with my target keywords posted recently. Of course, I haven't hired anyone to post such links and I haven't done it myself. So my only guess is that a competitor has been generous enough to invest on spamming my site. Questions: 1. How can I confirm if this is in fact a spam attack? 2. Should I worry about this? 3. If so, what is the best way to go about this? Would appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance! Howard
