We have never had a problem until recently when we type in our company name. A couple of months ago, we discovered when we type in our company name, we don’t find the www url of our domain until the 4th page. On the first three pages, there are links to our company’s site from other pages….but not our own url with title and description.

What would cause this problem?

Thanks!

The same situation like Jason in the comment before. My site (mostly private travelogues) was hacked and now it is marked in the SERPs with “This site may harm your computer.” I removed the virus on my site and made a review request at StopBadware.org. Still in the queue for a review. My question is: Google automaticly detected the virus, made a report to StopBadware.org and marked the site as harmful. Isn´t it possible for Google automaticly remove this mark for a website, when the virus or malware is removed? I don´t think that it is nescessary to decribe the consequences for a website when it is marked as harmful and you have to wait until your site is reviewed by StopBadware.org and their feedback to Google.

My site was recently hacked too! I bought this site a year ago and it is #1, well now 2, in Google for “Pocket Pc software reviews” and some other nice keywords. Welp, the site had been patched together over the years and the code was bad. It was ASP using an access DB (wow did the server hate that db). Anyways, the site was hacked and was loading an iframe which was distributing a web trojan. I would restore the db and get hacked a few weeks later. So, I decided to rewrite the whole site in PHP (which I know better than asp) and moved it to my dedicated server where I host all my stuff. So, the code has changed, the db is now MySQL, and the user names and password to the hosting account ect are different. Needless to say I beefed up the security to stop this from happening.

If you do a search on the key word phrase, you will see my site listed along with “This site may harm your computer.”. My traffic was pretty much all organic and most comes from Google. Traffic has dropped for 50,000 unique per month to 15,000.

My question is, now that I have beefed up security, rewritten the site and deleted any references to the iframe, and have moved it to a more secure location, how do I get google to take that warning off? Any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks for the great blog!

There are still live sites online, but the site itself (dv521.com) has no ip :
http://www.google.com/search?q=dv521&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Btw, it was quite obvious that Google would target personalization, as it is one of the ways to increase results relevance. It is pretty easy to predict what Google will do, really.
