lol, I can't believe some people are taking this seriously. aside from the "coincidence" it happened on the 1st April - the back the dark seo site was down too and if that wasn't enough, all the "shout outs" to seo's lol...
LOL - I liked how he managed to keep the index.html show up and rest all would display Hacked - amazing. I will have to try that sometime.
it looks like an April Fool's joke after all. not funny matt! http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/april-fools-day-2007/
I knew it before he started it. I would not believe if he is seriously hacked, Google may help him in case.
i thought its a true hack. anyways, i dont know whats with April 1 because we are not aware here in our country.
LOL...April 1st is April "Fools" Day....some silly tradition many countries actually take in consideration. Read this if your curious: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/aprilfools1.html Cheers
Hey guys, no voting after the fact. Us foolish ones don't need more votes to make us look more foolish. Good on the ones that made the right call in the beginning. Anyone know why it is that you can see who voted for what if you didn't vote yet, but not after (or perhaps only the poll creator can't view for who voted for what)?
I am saddened by this being a joke. That Matt could take something as serious as being hacked as a JOKE. There are numberous threads on various sites and Matts blog about people being delisted for being hacked. He took these incidents "seriously" and tried to tell the webmasters about this, and here is making a JOKE out of peoples missery. For somebody who I thought was proffessional I was wrong. You don't see google chaning the front of your AdSense page to "You gotz ownzerd by J0 F00L" or something on Aprils fools do you? Its because your money is worth a lot to you, your lively hood. The information provided by matt is also invaluable in being on the good side of google, trying to gain additional ranking in google, and he threatens this with a joke. If being hacked is just a joke, why do you bother to delist people for it? Are you trying to play double standards, or are you just being a jerk off trying to wind people up and also indirectly imply that their lively hood is a joke? Ive delisted from your RSS feed and I wont ever read your words without "f**kwit" in my mind again. Pierce
