Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Rich,

I cleaned up a clients site using a method similar to what Derk described.  The developer basically kept all the site exactly the same, removed infected areas and then let Google know.  The vulnerability was in an old plugin.

It took 24 hours and the 'this website may be hacked' was removed by Google.  I dont think it is as dire as you think as long you have a competent developer.

Hi,

Please see attached photos.  I have a website that shows external follow links when performing a search on open site explorer.  However, they are not recognised or visible in search console.  This is the case for both internal and external links.

The internal links are 'no follow' which I am getting developer to rectify.

Any ideas why I cant see the 'follow' external links?

Thanks in advance to those who help me out.
