Of the three sites I've ever worked on that were hacked, two of them were WP and the other was hacked because of Hosting Controller (something a former host installed). Using WP without significant customization is like hanging a sign in front of your house with the schematics for your alarm in the hope that if someone breaks in, someone else in the community will patch the hole. It doesn't make sense and it never did (and yes, I'm aware that Matt uses it for his blog...but he's also aware of the risks and has the ability to test/control things using his blog from a search point of view that we don't).Besides, you "think" you found and removed it. If 926 pages remain of 6000, chances are you didn't. And it's not Google's fault you got hacked...the blame lies with one or more of you, your host, and/or Wordpress itself. No sarcasm intended here...do yourself a big favor and try to figure out how to build/operate your site without WP. When you learn that, you won't have any of these types of issues.

I think I have found and removed all the hack code. I did the robots.txt thing that Google wants, the hacked pages go to a 410 page. I requested Google remove the pages from their index. Yet 926 pages remain that Google won't remove despite a second removal request. Plus 3 reports about being hacked and my results of removing the code being sent to Google which obviously resulted in little to no results. I am paying a site security company for security at this point. It would be great of Google actually honored its own instructions to the webmasters and actually removed pages we want removed. It seems Google thinks they know better than the webmasters what should be in a site the webmaster owns. My wordpress site was hacked in August 2011 and 6,000 spammy pages were added to Google index.

Then they jump to position 70 and start the same process over again. This whole garbage started in late May. Now Google seems obsessed with every obscure term people might be making money on.

All the time, I get messages from such tools in my Twitter feed and alerts. This is by far a bigger problem than reporting a single site violating Google's guidelines, "and still, they come".I would like (as, I'm sure, all the other ethical people online) to see Google take decisive action against web spammers on a massive scale. Basically, the more spam you allow, the faster Google will go the way of the dinosaurs. Clean, useful information is what the people want and they are voting with their fingers and going to Facebook. In the meantime, honest online operators are losing business to junk sellers.I know you can do it!All the best, Gal Hi Matt,

I know of one site who runs multiple domains for the same business and fake review sites all pointing back to the home business site. They are being listing in the top 10 and hogging the serps. They are tricky though, registering the domains under false or divergent entities, but the adsense ID on all sites is identical. Matt Cutts needs to check this one out and explain how they are getting away with spamming Google! How it is that some sites blatantly violate Google webmaster guidelines yet never get penalized.
