Unfortunately, evil hackers did a Wordpress code injection attack on the site, where it substituted it&#8217;s own links in Google Ad Sense code. This led to my site being de-listed by Google.</p>
<p>Being de-listed by Google is a death blow to a traffic dependent Website like Mac Audio Guy. I went from hundreds of visitors a day to none. In an attempt to remedy the attack and de-lising, I had to do a complete rebuild of the website and instituted more security measures, which have cost me a great deal of time and headache. I&#8217;ve reapplied to Google for re-listing and my only hope to keep the website alive is to be re-listed. I can only hope.</p>
<p>This has me shocked, dismayed and angry on a couple of fronts:</p>
<p>1.  Scumbag asshat hackers. You think you&#8217;re smart, but you are hurting people. I hope that develop a rash that will never let you sleep again and that your genitalia fall off.</p>
<p>2. Google, while it professes to do no evil, has way too much power over peoples livelihoods. Any website that is de-listed by Google is effectively non-existent.  Google is effectively the sole dictator of the internet, there need to be checks and balances on it&#8217;s powers.</p>
