Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We are in much the same position as Taysir is - we have quite a number of 404s that we would like to have de-indexed from our site.

Were you talking about 404s that were de-indexed in 24-48 hours or is there another way to have pages de-indexed with Google?  We've been waiting 9 weeks as of now and none of them have "fallen" out.

Paul,

Sorry to hear that you were also a victim of the pharma hack.  Glad that things have cleared up for you.  Any advice in your recovery with Google is appreciated.

I also appreciate your quick response.  This hack has been so upsetting.  We have been over a month in trying to figure this out and fix the issues that have come up and it still it seems it has been going at a snail's pace.

I just went into my WMT keywords and just for the keyword "watches" (and variants of it) we have 3,184,773 occurances.

I don't know what you mean by "limiting the scope of data" on WMT keywords.  I don't see any date in the keyword area of WMT.    How do we limit the scope of data?

When I look at the search query area almost 100% of those search terms are related to our website.  So, that's excellent.   It's just the keywords that are messed up and totally ridiculous!

We have resubmitted our website and I saw from our Googlebot fetch that all terms were out 12/24/12 and have been since then.

Thanks again, Paul.

In December our website was the victim of a devastating pharma hack.  Google Webmaster Tools never reported malware on our website, but our keywords within Webmaster Tools were all changed to keywords related to mens and ladies watches.

Our Google organic search rank and resulting traffic has been dramatically impacted.

Since realizing we were hacked, we rebuilt our website from the ground up with a clean and updated installation of Joomla CMS (from 1.5 to 2.5) and changed to a more secure server.  As of December 21st, 2012, our website has been clean of the phama hack.

We wrote Google and told them what happened.  They replied with a "no manual spam actions were found" message.

Unfortunately, Google Webmaster Tools still reflects all of the hacked keywords for mens and ladies watches.

We are watching our Google Webmaster Tools everyday waiting for Google to remove the hacked keywords.  It's been a little over a month and still only about 5 of the first 100 keywords have anything to do with our website.

What do you recommend we do to expedite the removal of these inappropriate keywords in Google WMT?
