Hi Beachflower,
Did you ever get a resolution to this? I'm curious to see what the outcome and solution was. If this is a malicious attack then you'll need to consult someone who specializes in net sec, but I've dealt with a few different kinds of attacks before so I can make a couple of recommendations.
1. Change all of your logins. Make them unique and difficult for a bot to guess. Then set it to lock out users after five incorrect guesses. This prevents brute force hacks.
2. Add a honeypot to your login forms. A honeypot is a hidden field that bots will try to fill out on a form. Users can't see it, so they don't fill it out. If it gets filled out, the program knows it's a bot, and invalidates the attempt to login.
3. Use screaming frog to find all the js that was maliciously inserted on each URL and create a "cleanup" list. A developer should be able to write a simple "find and replace" program that just deletes it.
4. Consider migrating to https if you haven't already. This can prevent Man-in-the-Middle attacks (MIM) on your site, and also confers several SEO benefits such as improved user experience, a slight boost in ranking, and faster site speed (HTTP/2 integration).
These are just a few first steps to take and a Net Sec professional will have much more to add. Hope that helps!

Yes I think. They are using that to slow the site down. and its working.

Well it could be a few things. Either it's always been there and you never noticed it before, your company/client added it but did so in a way that populated it out over 1000 times as an error, or the site was hacked and the js was inserted by a malicious entity. It looks like they're using a link shortener in the src part of that js, which makes me nervous.

I don't think so. But why over 1000 times?
-
Just to verify - this is js that your company/client did not insert themselves?

Best site structure for us?
Hey guys, I have a somewhat silly question that I probably know the answer to - but would still like to hear your POV's. We're a WP theme making company but we also build other stuff. Context: 1. All demos for themes currently go under domain.com/Theme_A/ The demo is lorem ipsum so is marked noindex nofollow. That being said we get rocking analytics data usually (not sure if it's still valuable for G after the noindex). 2. Currently we need landing pages for themes and we're running them under domain.com/Theme_A/optimized-landing-page-title.php dofollow and indexed ofc. My question is...Would we be better off to include all landing pages under a domain.com/wordpress-themes/ category/tax and then go for the optimized-landing-page-title.php page? Does it make any difference either or? Right now we're not REALLY running them on subdomains (though the structure seems like it), they're just folders. We're thinking that more seo juice would flow through the different pages if we have them all under the same category, rather than basically starting from scratch each time under a new folder. Right? Thanks!!!

Trying to SEO a site that used Header Tags for Design
I am trying to SEO a website that was built years ago and uses Header tags for design. The site must have 25 and tags used for design purpose. Is there any way to work around this problem? Perhaps a code that tells Google to ignore these as Headers? The web designers say that they are looking to fix the problem sometime this summer but you never know if that means it a month away or years away. I really want to help this website but I believe that the Header tags are one of the reasons that his site does not show in the top 100 rankings for any keywords. Any help would be great. www.wallybuysell.com Chris.K

Why is our site dropping in Domain Authority
Hi all, I have a question. I have been working SEO on our site www.betxpert.com for the last 4-6 weeks and I have been looking forward to seeing the new DA and PA numbers. However today, our DA is now 30...where it was 31 or 33 a couple of days ago. How come the decrease? I have only improved the site i should say... Hope someone can shed a little light on the issue... -Rasmus

Three Sites or One?
I have a client who provides three distinct, although related, services. Some of his competitors only provide one of those services, and thus their sites are more saturated with that particular service. Would it be best to develop three different sites optimized for each particular service, or could I achieve the same effect by optimizing different sections of one site for each service?

How do you see a list of URLs with duplicate page titles?
When looking at the Duplicate Page Title report, the Other URLs column has various numbers that presumably indicate the number of pages that share the same title. When I click on one of these numbers, say a URL that shows 4 in that column, the next page reports "No sample duplicate URLs to report". Why isn't it showing me the other 3 URLs with the same page title?
