Something very strange is going on with my wordpress blog (self-hosted). I would say it has been hacked, but it’s beyond the basic problems of a site that has been hacked. Since learning of the problem, I’ve changed themes, deleted all the extraneous files, updated to the latest version of wordpress, and updated all plug-ins…to no avail. The only way I knew I had a problem is that Google labeled my site as potentially hacked, and it is showing up for all these medical-related keywords which have nothing to do with my site (noticed this in my Google Analytics). I need help and don’t mind paying for a solution. Here’s the site: http://blog.newhousebuilder.com. The main keyword for which it is getting impressions is “amoxicillan dosage”. I can’t begin to figure out how this is happening. HELP!

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

Sucuri shows you ok. No java scripts that are not yours and no links that are not yours.

You do have some errors in code, http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3a%2f%2fblog.newhousebuilder.com%2f and link issues, http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.newhousebuilder.com%2F&summary=on&hide_type=all&depth=&check=Check

I googled:
blog.newhousebuilder.com amoxicillan dosage

You can see the amoxicillan content there in the google descriptions. Then I checked the html source and see that you have a number of iframes in your pages, one of which is from a2a.lockerz.com. Then I found this forum topic:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-google-analytics-js-loading?replies=4

Perhaps that will point you in the right direction.

Thank you for the help! Raskull, I think you may be onto something. Although I can view the source, I don’t see the iframes. I have turned off this plug-in and deleted to files. So, how do I tell if this has resolved the issue? Since it’s not something I can see in my code, I’m having trouble knowing that I got rid of it…

By the way, if you do work for hire, I’m glad to hire you to assist me.
