Every single one of my ads has been disabled because the bid is no longer high enough.

For most of the keywords, the bid price has gone up 5 times what it was and for some 10 times what it was.

My site got hacked by some muslim group two times in about two weeks.

During both times I was experimenting with some PPC advertising.

I turned it off both times. Well, today I went back in to turn it on and this is when I saw the smart pricing.

Does this have to do with the loss of page rank, and loss of indexed pages for the forum, or because there was islamic text on my site during the time it was hacked?

Is there any way to get my pricing back to where it was, and get my pagerank back?

Thanks!

well now my main site is smartpriced.

And not only smart priced, but words that were 10 cents or less are now TEN DOLLARS.

Seriously, TEN DOLLARS?

Why don't they just kick me in the nuts and tell me to get out?

What could have caused this?

I understand the idea of smart pricing, but when you go to 10 dollars for just about every keyword, you're pretty much sending the message that you don't want my business anymore.

You'd think they'd at least provide some kind of explanation, or send some goon to my door to hit me in the kneecaps.

You got Google slapped because their bot indexed your hacked version.. You need to talk to Google directly and explain to them what happened..
