Turn off your AdWords if your site has been hacked!

I've been reviewing the ads that have appeared on my websites via AdSense, and noticed that one of the sites paying good money to promote themselves has been hacked ... the kind of hack that spreads [drug] links as the first thing people will see on the front page.

If that ever happens to you, have the wit to pause your ads until the situation is fixed!

Hmmm ... speculating here.

GoogleBot visits my site daily. If I were ever hacked, it is possible that GoogleBot would detect it. This suggests it might be necessary to convince Google to turn the ads back on.
