Allen,

It wasn’t “our” website that was hacked, it was the Green Party’s website. Green Party Watch is an independent site that is not affiliated with gp.org.

I think that you should–at the very least–post an update at the top of this silly post explaining that this issue was NOT Google’s fault; it was your inability to manage your own website that resulted in being de-indexed. Sheesh. Get a clue.

i think it’s sad people rationalize that somehow 19 arabs hijacked 4 airplanes WITHOUT “conspiring”. this “THEORY” was based on a suitcase planted by warren flagg. FBI claims they have no evidence so the “official story” remains a THEORY :)

Adriane, check to see if your website was hacked.

Thanks for your article. I thought it was just my problem. Last week, all links to my name on google news were wiped out. I’m the deputy leader of the Green Party of Canada and former leader of the Green Party of British Columbia (also the first Green Party leader on televised leaders’ debates and co-founder of the GPBC, which I believe was the first Green Party in North America). You used to put “Adriane Carr” in google news and get hundreds of links. Now, there’s not one link. If someone has an answer or solution, please let me know. More details on the problems you or other Greens are facing would be good, too, as I would like to take this to the media.

Don’t let their progressive stances on cultural issues fool you: Google=CIA. Period. This is not “conspiracy theory”, this is “conspiracy fact”.

So it turns out that gp.org was hacked to include hundreds of malicious links. Google tried to drop you an email, and if you register with google.com/webmasters we also left a message for you about the hacked site in our free webmaster information console.

I’m a software engineer at Google and you have my email address via this comment–let me know if you have any questions about cleaning up the hacked content.

Hi Gregg,

I am from Google’s web search quality team. It appears that the gp.org site was removed from our results because it has been hacked. If you look at the HTML source code for http://gp.org/ and search for the word “viagra”, you’ll see what is going on.

We sent an email to the gp.org webmaster last Monday (th 19th) on this subject as well as notifying them in the google webmaster tools console. If you have any better way of contacting them, please let me know. You should now have my email address.

In the meantime, I’ve reinstated the site in our index, but it may take as much as a day before it starts showing again.
