      Hi

      On first sight I would guess your site has been hacked - do these url's exist when you try them?

        Hello Dirk,

        Thank you for fast reply! I thought it too right away. So all of these URLs are forbidden when i try to access them. This is the message from google webmaster tools "Googlebot couldn't crawl your URL because your server either requires authentication to access the page, or it is blocking Googlebot from accessing your site."

        Any ideas? Thanks

          Try to do a search of type viagra site:yourdomain.com - and see if there are any pages of suspicious nature that are listed.

          In the crawl error section in webmaster tools you could also check where these url's are coming from (external/internal links)

          If your site is hacked - you can find more info here http://www.google.com/webmasters/hacked/ on what to do next.

          rgds,

          Dirk

            Hi Dirk,

            In webmaster tools if i click one by one those links, i can see "Linked from" URLs. There are URLs like this:

            http://schwagginwagon.com/?page_name=Buying+Tadalis+SX+Safely+No+Prescription+Tadalis+SX&id=1810

            and also there is one URL is coming from my domain. Not sure what it means.

            I went through every single URL in Google index but all of them are normal URLs. Nothing related to spam. Any ideas?

            Thanks

              Remember that not every URL is in Googles index. It does not mean that your back link is not in

              https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/

              https://majestic.com

              http://ahrefs.com

              You should very quickly make sure that your website is not still completely full of malware like it sounds it is

              use this tool to determined what has happened to your site if it is infected it is free.

              https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/

              If it is hacked as I believe it may be dependent on what you have described I would then purchase the malware removal and web application firewall

              https://sucuri.net/website-antivirus/

              if you would like a much more secure hosting environment https://armor.com is the best.

              Once you have removed your site from the blacklists and removed all the bad where/malware make sure to crawl it with Google in Webmaster tools using  fetch as a Google bot

              your nightmare should be short-lived sorry to hear that your site was hacked hopefully this will get you back on track quickly.

                Thank you Thomas,

                My site is clean though according to sucuri. I spoke to owner of this website and they said that they were hacked in the past and they blocked those pages themselves. So now google detects those pages again? Or what exactly is happening? Anybody knows?

                Thanks

                  The best way to solve this problem is to use

                  HTTPS://Deepcrawl.com

                  Or http://screamingfrog.co.uk Seo spider

                  If you give me the URL I will do it quick check for you.

                        some of you are links are really not supposed to be there

                        Here is your report please use the URL below to navigate the entire report.

                        All of you are URLs are relative to the most part that should be fixed. You have a Java redirect that definitely needs to be fixed.

                        https://varvy.com/

                        You have roughly 108 indexed URLs according to Google

                        https://marketing.grader.com/report/www.davidandsonsjewelers.com/overall

                        you do not have an XML site map unfortunately I found that out in the first five minutes but you can also find out if these things using

                        https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

                        upon a quick check with another tool I found

                        http://i.imgur.com/Y60WnIc.png

                        I love deepcrawl however your site is not large you can learn a lot about it with

                        http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/  free

                        I hope this is a help, with analytics access and webmaster tool like this I cannot obviously give you a much better picture.

                            As you are showing certain URLs that are definitely Pharma hack  their are certain things Sucuri is unable to detect because of it being a front-end tool not the PHP tool that would be needed for the  two-part WordPress and PHP version of your site.

                            Just type this into Google

                                Also, do you say that the mobile site is blocked? Also, how do you see that the site doesn't have XML? What tool shows you all this info?

                                Thanks

                                  If I were you I would look at my site structure make sure that it was built in a certain manner for the right reasons.

                                  If your traffic is all right you really do not want to change the site that much. If you do change the site change it slowly.

                                  ( A great example of this is how FireHost.com it is becoming Armor.com)

                                  the tools I used to find out whether or not you had a site map primarily was deepcrawl.com

                                  to detect mobile issues

                                  I used screaming  frog to create a XML site map for you here

                                  http://d.pr/f/15Ouy

                                  I would definitely add an XML site map.

                                        I really appreciate your help! You said i can look at your site's structure. What is your site address?

                                        Unfortunately, i still don't know what i need to do in order to remove those pharma hack from my site. If you know where to point me to get the answer, i'll be very grateful.

                                        Also, what tool you used to generate this report http://crawl.blueprintmarketing.com/projects/reports/215533?ro=75ad0c6e4afacc428b553d449dfd281f82ec2ad6 ?

                                        Also, what tool you used to create XML site map?

                                        Thanks

                                          Hi

                                          to removed  any chance of infection and I am not telling you that I am 100% sure it's  infected

                                          You must be certain that the regional infection was removed. If it was not and you had links created by a third party other than yourself you are better off getting it completely cleaned

                                          use Sucuri.net to remove any  chance of a hack.

                                          Just type this into Google

                                          i used  deepcrawl.com  to create the audit I you referenced.

                                          Screaming frog SEO to create the site map
