Hello my wordpress has been constantly attacked every day, files were uploaded and redirections were made to others websites.
I instaled sucruri pluggin paying the annual fee, and no result. They keep acessing the web. And i uploading backup security.
Know i have instaled OSE wp firewall and seems that they are getting more dificulty accessing and uploading files. But still sending like 40 attacks every day.
Is ther any way to stop this?

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.

Leveraging A Second Site
Hi, A client of mine has an opportunity to buy/control another site in the same niche. The client's site is the top-ranked site for the niche. The second site is also often top half of page one. The second site has a 15 year old design that is a really bad, almost non-functional, user experience and thin content. The client's site (site 1) has the best link profile and dominates organic search, but the second site's link profile is as good as our nearest competitor's link profile. Both sites have been around forever. Both sites operate in the affiliate marketing space. The client's site is a multi million dollar enterprise. If the object were to wring the most ROI out of the second site, would you: A) Make the second site not much more than a link slave to the first, going through the trouble to keep everything separate, including owner, hosting, G/A, log-on IPs, so as not to devalue the links to 1st site, etc? Or... B) Develop the second site and not worry about hiding that both are the same owner. Or... C) Develop the second site and still worry about it keeping it all hidden from Google. Or... D) Buy the second site and forward the whole thing to site 1. I know the white hat answer is "B," but would like to hear considerations for these options and any others. Thanks! P.S., My pet peeve is folks who slam a fast/insufficient answer into an unanswered question, just to be the first. So, please don't.

International web site - duplicate content?
I am looking at a site offering different language options via a javascript drop down chooser. Will google flag this as duplicate content? Should I recommend the purchase of individual domains for each country? i.e. .uk

Negative SEO attack working amazingly on Google.ca
We have a client www.atvandtrailersales.com who recently (March) fell out of the rankings. We checked their backlink file and found over 100 spam links pointing at their website with terms like "uggboots" and "headwear" etc. etc. I submitted a disavow link file, as this was obviously an attack on the website. Since the recent Panda update, the client is back out of the rankings for a majority of keyword phrases. The disavow link file that was submitted back in march has 90% of the same links that are still spamming the website now. I've sent a spam report to Google and nothing has happened. I could submit a new disavow link file, but I'm not sure if this is worth the time. '.'< --Thanks!

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

If Google Authorship is used for every page of your website, will it be penalized?
Hey all, I've noticed a lot of companies will implement Google Authorship on all pages of their website, ie landing pages, home pages, sub pages. I'm wondering if this will be penalized as it isn't a typical authored piece of content, like blogs, articles, press releases etc. I'm curious as I'm going to setup Google Authorship and I don't want it to be setup incorrectly for the future. Is it okay to tie each page (home page, sub pages) and not just actual authored content (blogs, articles, press releases) or will it get penalized if that occurs? Thanks and much appreciated!

HELP! My client got a DDOS Attack! Need advice
Here the setup: Server is hosted inhouse. It got attacked using a DDOS from 20+ IP addresses spoofing in different counries. Our server overloaded and didn't work anymore. URL is registered at GoDaddy. Signed up at Dreamhost. We pointed DNS to Dreamhost successfully. Attacks kept coming and messed up other sites on the Dreamhost shared server. We didn't know we were being followed at first. We originally thought they were attacking the IP address on our inhouse server. Dreamhost noticed the attack and put us on a seperate IP and disabled our URL until the attacks 'stopped'. MY QUESTION IS: What do I do if they don't stop? Close shop? 99% of the business is internet driven. This has to be the blackest Blackhat SEO ever.
