    Guys
    One of my Wordpress site was hacked and now I have restored it with a backup I had in my server. But the restore messed up all my categories for the site. It put everything in one category.

    If I re-create my categories how it will it impact indexing in google?.
    I do not know the old categories.So I just plan to redo with new categories.
    Google has some pages indexed with old categories when my site was working fine.I am just worried if my idea will work or not.

    Will google drop the old pages and index my pages when I submit all pages again with Google XML Sitemap plugin?

    My site: http://adruniverse.com/wp/index.php

    Thanks.
    -David

    Why not see what Google indexed and try to recreate some of the old index?

    What you should do is pull up the cached version of your site. If the control you lost was during the last crawl of your site, it won't be there, but it is worth a shot.

    Primarily, you'll have problem on SERP... Since you set a new list of categories. Take time to oprimize it again and rank it all.
