Huge SPAM attack hitting Google PageRank

**robscott2121** · 05-09-2008, 01:17 PM

Hi, this is my first post because I ordinarily spend most of my time writing copy and content for a large number of websites, however, today, I discovered a huge number of hidden spam links which had been supplanted into the index page of our website and I'm not quite sure how they got there.

Upon doing a google search for a unique term which was at the end of the spam links (all for drugs etc) "dfgsdfgfr@r45t" it appears as though over 28,000 other pages have fallen victim to the same attack.

I wrote a post about it here:

What I'd like is for someone to suggest how these links are getting in. Its puzzling. I also want to warn everyone about this, as we rarely if ever update or even check our index page as a matter of course, so this could have gone unnoticed by many.

Any thoughts?

That's very puzzling. Im not exactly sure how so many pages could be effected but I'll be sure to stay on the lookout for my sites. Thanks

Are you talking about Digg effect of your web pages or what?
Can you please be more strategic?
