From Dec 2010 some loved one (s) have been somehow constantly placing malicious codes on my website even though the page permissions don't allow to write on pages. What the guys do is put a link to some bad or banned website and as a result, I receive an email from Google that 'suspicious activity found' on my website. I am so much thankful for that gesture but then now since it has happened quite a lot of times (and I always have to upload my whole website again to my web hosting account on Apthosts) my inner pages have now become supplementary pages and have PR of 'n/a' what used to be PR5.I am not really crazy about PRs but yes, I need more exposure of my website and at the right places or niches, so I try whatever-hat efforts but not so-called black or gray hat tactics to promote my website. Still am kind of wondering what's my fault when my website gets hacked or intruded. I am already in trouble and tensions of getting things back but knowing that my pages being thumped down to 'n/a' from PR5 made me curious enough to do some research and apparently landed here with my curiosity. Can you help me understand that? Hi Matt:

This would be from one company to a new company. We have dedicated IP addresses assigned, but of course will be getting a new dedicated IP address as well. We're concerned that DNS changes could hurt ranking positions. How much of a Ranking impact can a site have for switching web hosting servers?

Obviously, this gives the user much more information and creates a higher percentage chance of a user clicking through.What are these extra links called and how do you go about getting your site listed with these extra links?Note: only the top result ever has these extra category links I'm not talking about Local Results. There used to be one column and now I'm seeing 2 columns. When searching Google, there are some results that come back with one or two columns of extra site links.

After 2 months of being out of supplemental and gaining a little traffic from Google these pages come back to supplemental. These pages are loved by visitors because they are informative and with good quality pictures and pictures speak a thousand words... but for Googlebot it means nothing.Fortunately, these pages are getting traffic from search engines that are starting to give relevant results such as live.com and yahoo.com.Google just removed the word supplemental from the results but it doesn't make any difference since they still bring your tons of pages to supplemental.Search is evolving but I think Google's search is evolving in the wrong direction. Supplemental Google algorithm is flawed.
