After doing a little more investigation, I see that most of the results for my keywords are being replaced by hijackers.

Looksmart and altavista.looksmart.com are the biggest of them all.

For a keyword combination where a page from my site used to show up 5th, its not there in the first 100. In fact, a sub-page from my site hijacked by looksmart shows up 2nd (I mean the hijacker's site with my page shows 2nd) and its not even completely related. For eg: if you were to search for the keyword "fruit", its the page for an "orange".

I also tried putting the entire title of that page and searching, but that still showed up the hijacker's site 5 positions above mine.

Seems like Google is doing this major update to clean up the hijacks and its getting all messed up for now. Maybe in a weeks time, everything will be perfect. Keeping my fingers crossed.
