Website has been hacked / not showing in Google! Please Help
A company I work for on and off called me today with a problem that I need some advice on. About a month ago they launched a new version of their website, same URL, but complete from the ground up rebuild. They hired a freelance consultant they had not worked with before to build it.
Today they just noticed that their website is not showing in Google, Bing, or Yahoo search results. They are not sure if it has been showing at all during this last month, or if this just happened, but it absolutely was before the site rebuild. The website also had a PR of 5 with google, not it just show N/A
In google websmaster tools it shows google has been crawling the website consistently and there is no malware detected. However, when I ran the website through the free report at woorank.com it says the meta description is missing, and.... the headers it detected are webcam, and webcam girls!
This led me to check out the source code where I found this snippit of code:
<div style="display:none"><h1><a href="http://www.sexchatwebcam.org" title="<h1>sex chat</h1>">sex chat</a></h1><h1><a href="http://www.sexchatwebcam.org" title="<h1>sex Chat</h1>">sex Chat</a></h1><h1><a href="http://www.sexchatwebcam.org/" title="<h1>webcams</h1>">webcams</a></h1><h1><a href="http://www.sexchatwebcam.org" title="<h1>webcams</h1>">webcams</a></h1></div>
Please let me know your opinion on all of this. Which elements of these problems do you think are connected, are any? And where do I start to look for how this happened and how to prevent it in the future? Why is the website not showing in any search results but google has been crawling it consistently and does not state any malware has been found? What in the hell is going on???
Thank you all so so much for your time! It is greatly appreciated!
I can PM you the URL if you want to look into it further and help.
