      Hi -

      I've recently learn that a site I manage:

      http://www.hhisland.com

      has somehow been hijacked by other sites (examples below):

      http://wlwhost.info/schering-07-nissan-altima-air-conditioner-drain-clogged/ (460 links)
      http://abhinav.co.uk/Mary-motorcycles-for-sale-in-iasi/ (440 links)
      http://www.turetzky.net/pmr/knifty-knitter-hobo-glove-pattern.html (374 links)
      http://safeimail.com/banker-cold-cstrike-16/ (233 links)

      Just wanted to find out what my best course of action might be?  Would changing hosts (or IP address) help in this situation?

      Thanks!

        Hello,

        Over the years I've had a few sights hacked.  I tried changing the login details however the hacker seemed to be able to access it again. In solving this issue, I changed web hosting companies immediately, and after that my site was ranking well again.

        Hope this helps.

        • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
