Hey,
When you are fixing the website do you roll back to a save version of the website or just change password?
Most likely there is Malware hidden away which if you do not remove will allow them to keep doing the same thing. I think generally backups go back 2 weeks but if your server provider has copied a hacked version you will need to remove the Malware manually - not fun.
I would Google the plugins you are using and see if anyone has been hacked using that plugin.

You should also evaluate who at your company has access to passwords. Did you hire any part of this site out?
People who have access to the site could knowingly our unknowingly be the problem.

Hello,
The one thing popular CMS sites have in common is they are primary targets. This is especially true to open source or free systems like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Oscommerce, this is because the hackers are available to download and review the source code. In addition to this, many people contribute to these projects which provides additional opportunities for security holes.
There are whole websites out there that share techniques to hack these high profile CMS, complete with scripts and how to guides. Its unfortunate, but some people "enjoy" other people's pain.
The one thing you must do when you choose a CMS like this is to continue to upgrade versions and stay on top of the latest security vulnerabilities and fixes. If you hired your build out, you should factor in a continual support package because you will always need to upgrade and patch.
My suggestions is to visit your sites help forums, chances are there are some answers there for you. There are many precautionary things I could suggest but the primary thing you need to do take your site offline, identify the security hole, restore from a backup and patch it.
Good luck,
Don

This type of thing is generally better addressed by someone with more dev knowledge but one thing you may want to check is your versions of Wordpress and plugins.
Try to keep everything up to date since updates are often released to patch security flaws and if you're running any plugins that aren't really necessary, consider removing them as well. Doing so can often help your site speed and it also removes a potential vulnerability.
The only time we've experienced the same site getting hacked several times in a row it was through vulnerabilities in a particular form plugin.

How to Get google to get to index New URL and not the OLD url
Hi Team, We are undertaking a Domain migration activity to migrate our content frrom one domain to another. 1. the Redirection of pages is handeled at Reverse proxy level. 2. We do have 301 redirects put in place. However we still see that google is indexing pages with our Old domain apart from the pages from new domain. Is there a way for us to stop google from indexing our pages from Old domain. The recommendations to have Noindex on Page mete title and disallow does not work since our redirection is setup at RP and google crawlers always discover the new pages after redirection.

Site Audit: Indexed Pages Issue
Over the last couple of months I've been working through some issues with a client. One of my starting points was doing a site Audit. I'm following a post written by Geoff Kenyon https://mza.seotoolninja.com/blog/technical-site-audit-for-2015 . One of the main issues of the site audit seems to be that when I run a "site:domain.com" query in Google my homepage isn't the first page listed in fact it isn't listed in this search when I go through all of the listings. I understand that it isn't required to have your homepage listed first when running this type of query, but I would prefer it. Here are some things I've done I ran another query "info:homepage.com" and the home page is indexed by Google. When I run a branded search for the company name the home page does come up first. The current page that is showing up first in the "site:domain.com" listing is my blog index page. Several months back I redirected the index.php page to the root of the domain. Not sure if this is helping or hurting. In the sitemap I removed the index.php and left only the root domain as the page to index. Also all interior links are sent to the root, index.php has been eliminated from all internal links everything links to root The main site navigation does not refer to the "Home" page, but instead my logo is the link to the Home page. Should I noindex my blog/index.php page? This page is only a compilation of posts and does not have any original content instead it actually throws up duplicate content warnings. Any help would be much appreciated. I apologize if this is a silly question, but I'm getting frustrated/ annoyed at the whole situation.

Should I use Rel-Canonicals links for a News site with similar articles each year
Our small town news site provides coverage in a lot of seasonal areas, and we're struggling with the current year's content ranking above previous years. For instance, every year we cover the local high school football team, and create 2-3 articles per game. We'll also have some articles preseason with upcoming schedule and general team "talk". We've seen where articles from past seasons will rank higher than the current season, presumably because the older articles have more links to them from other sources (among other factors). We don't want to delete these old articles and 301 them to the newer article, since most articles include information/stories about specific players...and their families don't want the article to ever come down. Should we rel-canonical the older articles to the newer one, or perhaps to the "high school football" category page? If to the category page, should we rel-canonical even the new articles to that main category page? Thanks for the help.

Need advice on direction to go with site
I am taking over this site and redoing it all over. I believe that google may have penalized the site because the site doesn't show up in the SERPS, but will show under a google search (site:prosplumbingsanjoseca.com). I am just asking for your opinions on what I should do to correct the issues with this site and get back into the SERPS.

2 Relevant local websites but closing one and redirecting it to an older site
We have 2 websites, 1 domain is about 10 years old and another is about 4 years old, the 4 yr old domain we are thinking of shutting down since its the same type of service we run but it was a 'keyword domain' that used to rank on 1st page but now its 4th page back. If we put the blog posts and other content + setup re-directs from the 4yr old domain to the 10 yr old domain, would this help the 10 yr old domain with more link juice that it might need for the extra boost? There isnt really any point having both websites up since both are about the same content and targeting the same local market.
