I've Been Violated...Again

I noticed a few weeks back that my blog article titles were showing up in my RSS feed as ads for cheap prescriptions. Not good. I changed all my passwords, made sure I was at the latest version of WordPress (I was), and disabled all my unneeded plugins. The RSS feed cleared up, but my Google search results still showed I was a pharmacy; the big problem is that all the pages appeared normal when browsing over to them, so I never really noticed the bigger problem.

I checked out a few of my article with Google’s Webmaster Tools and noticed that the indexer saw the ads with some extraneous headers and a differen ttitle. After looking around the Interwebs a bit, I finally got fed up with it and installed a fresh copy of WordPress. It took a bit of hammering, but I got it up and running again. I checked the Webmaster Tools again, and Google is no longer seeing the ads. Hopefully all my search results will be back to normal by tomorrow.

I’m sorry that everyone thought I was a rolling meds counter. It’s just one of those things where I did everything I could (at least as far as I know), but that wasn’t enough. I’m sure I’ll do something drastic like scrap WordPress unless a bout of laziness hits me.

Sorry, guys. 🙁
