All, after 18 months of owning a website spending most of my time building content I don’t claim to know an eighth of what most of you know. What I do know is my site has been hijacked by three different sites and I now receive less than 5% of the traffic I used to and it appears to be dropping by the day.

I’m amazed this isn’t the topic of every Web newsletter on the net this week, but it isn’t. We’ve all heard the old saying “that will never happen to me”. After seeing a friend go through this a few months ago I foolishly said “that will never happen to me”. Well it has and I can assure you if your website or sites are good which I suspect they are it will happen to you in the very near future if it hasn’t already.

The ball is in Goggle’s court to do something. We can suggest ideas all day long however
It’s up to them to act. There’s power in numbers so please take five minutes of your evening tonight to drop Google a quick e-mail telling them how your site has been ruined by hijackers or if you’re one of the lucky ones who hasn’t been hijacked yet your concerns of being hijacked. Like I said earlier I never thought it would happen to me, but it did and I can’t describe to you the sick feeling I’ve had since I discovered my site was hijacked. Act now or act later it’s up to you.
