Site Virus/Spam?

MattP725 · 04-18-2012, 06:06 PM

Anyone else getting redirected to a different site when they click on a search for th370z? It doesn't happen every time but I have gotten it about a dozen times over the last few weeks. Next time I will take a screenshot and pay more attention to where it directs you.

Just for explanatory purposes, it happens from my iphone, my home PC and laptop as well as my work computer occasionally so I know it isn't anything with my computer specifically.

just went to google and typed in the370z and searched in conjunction with "coilover install" and it took a valid result and brought me to

I get that too sometimes. Not sure why it does that? I just hit back and go in again.

...some sites "cache" page search results so it looks like you are clicking on a link to go here, but it goes somewhere else. No virus or anything.

I thought it was just me? But I've also had this issue when trying the general discussion link from the google search page.

I'll let AK know about this so if there is something he do to correct this annoying issue.

Thanks for posting

About the only way for the370z to combat this ... you would have to figure out the spider they are using to index the site from the raw logs, and then exclude that spider from being able to index the site in the meta tags.

I don't "think" it is that because when you refresh or as the other member said click back and click the link again it usually works... the link is definitely correct, it is just getting intercepted somewhere.

Thank you for reporting it. This has been a latest issue and thousands of forum, website, WP owners are affected. Google is aware of the problem as well. It kinda raised a red flag on their software when they saw all these big forums having their site redirected to another spam site. Google sent out 20,000 emails to forum, website owners last week to let them know they are affected as many owners have NO clue their site is redirected on google. I Never use google to go to my site.

I'm working on the issue and it's NOT a easy task. So please have patience. In the mean time, I want you to

a. Make the370Z your homepage. You're on here 24/7 anyway so making it homepage will prevent you from getting that error link. If you do not want to make it your homepage on your browser permanently, just do it until the problem is fixed. Thanks

b. Avoid using Google to search the370z and click on it. THE370Z is 7 letter website name. Just go to the top address bar and type "www.the370z.com". It's quicker.

I'll keep you guys posted what happens. thanks

AK
