A while back, I wrote a post about how my blog was hacked<\/a> and what I did about it. Turns out it dropped me out of Google for a week or two, but the experience was well worth it. Shortly thereafter, Eric Bramlett posted the solution of setting Google Alerts on your site. (Can’t find it, or I’d link to it). Trace and others had some good comments and suggestions as well. I did what Bramlett suggested and I want to show you an example of how it works. <\/p>\n

This morning, I received an alert (one of many that I have on my site), to wit:<\/p>\n

Google Web Alert for: site:ericonsearch.com +viagra<\/strong><\/p>\n

High gas prices and online marketing…a correlation? : Southern …
\n… phentermine shipped tramadol without perscription dopamine phentermine generic cialis pills generic viagra levitra prescribing information valium valium …
\n
\n This as-it-happens Google Alert is brought to you by Google.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I quickly went and found the offending post(s) and promptly deleted hundreds of “bad neighborhood” links. Nice. And yes. I am making further changes to beef security that I am not going to talk about publicly. Will be happy to share them with you privately one to one if you have been hacked.<\/p>\n

The good news about this go around is that we are being PROACTIVE and getting to them before we have to bug Google or other search engines about it. By setting yourself up a boatload of alerts for site:mydomain.com +(insert poker,porn, or pharmaceutical term), you can get ahead of any issues that arise.<\/p>\n

If you Google “Indiana SEO” or other similar terms, you will see that as of today’s date, I am still blessed to be doing OK for now. <\/p>\n

So if you haven’t taken the time to do this to your blog… Now’s a good time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
