| please do a favor to the web community. Knock out techcrunches, expedias, wikipedias, facebooks, apples, etc. |

Ah, you're forgetting - Google can make manual fixes behind closed doors for individual sites (its 11pm so hopefully someone else will point out some examples over the years). Even if someone did spend the money and time it would take to do damage to such big brand names Google could simply flip a switch from behind the curtain. If you spend hundreds of thousands on Adwords then your rankings are pretty secure as you'll have the Goog Tech Team on the case within the hour.

i cannot get my head around this hijacking stuff. if out clicks are of a 302 response.redirect nature. Can some tell me step by step how i can attack this, so that i can understand how it works and then tell me how to prevent this. [edited by: Robert_Charlton at 1:05 am (utc) on April 20, 2008]

| With dup content is the originator penalized as well? Surely all google has to do is compare its cache, or creation date of the page, to see which site has the original content and not penalize that version. |
|
Yes, and its happened to me. The story was, if your page was cached first, you got the credit - which is normally the case when you add original content to your site. I had such a thing on one of my sites. It got cached, and my site was #1 for it. But, the page somehow became decached by google and another site that used it [without permission] is now #1 even though that page is now cached again.

I suspect the page with the most page rank is considered the original.

| In the last few days my website started to dissapper from Google index. The only thing which happend during those days is that my forum was "attacked" by spammers - a few hundred posts with spammy links, mostly adult. |
|
I just want to add that a few days after I removed the spam, the site is back in the index.

konrad, in that situation the bad links were on your own website, correct? Google will penalize a website for outbound links to bad neighborhoods - they've been clear about that for a long time. A more disturbing issue is that some people report problems that seem to come from inbound links - links that the webmaster would have no control over.
