Matt Cutts blog (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/) appears to have been hacked, BUT it is just an April Fools Joke.
Is it really hacked OR is it an april fools joke? Also if it is really hacked why so long to restore?
I'd totally agree with this comment, all these bloggers will post a link to the website, and Google will browse them and add all those new links back to Matts blog therefore increasing his already high rank. If I tried the same thing, I wouldn't benefit from it one bit. Why else would all the popular sites do something like that, to get even more backlinks.
LOOOL The whole issue is confusing and funny. But this is the first time google makes two lies in a year, right? Or is it going to ask every employee to lie in April? Big mess!
Nothing is confusing, it is an April Fools joke. It's his personal blog, he can do what he wants with it.
I don't see it is hacked. You can see that everything on the page is changed but NOT one thing... thats google analytics code at the end.. They also wants to see what (and where) people are talking about this APRIL FOOL. Edit: You can see the their old urcin (google analytics code) in the cache of google.

Just shows how childish both matt and darkseo team are if they are just joking around. Pathetic is the word that comes to my mind... cause now http://www.darkseoteam.com/ is defaced by matt... these guys are taking hacking as a joke...and giving kids the idea of hacking others website, totally uncalled for i would say..
There is just nothing funny about this. http:// www. darkseoteam .com/ I am assuming everyone knows this url: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog
paidhosting, I think you need to calm down a bit. It's just one day out of 365. They weren't going to add anything to their sites today anyway. And besides, it is their websites, they can do whatever they want. It's also a joke people. You need to liven up a bit.
Well frankly i find hacking disturbing even when its used for joking just like you would not joke around your friends saying " oh my folks died " even for sake of april fools day ? Would you do that for "liven up a bit" ?
