I made up this site using a template for another business in my area and they just got this email today. Anyone know anything about this. I don't see that text anywhere in the code. Dear site owner or webmaster of aquariumwaterfilters.com, While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your pages were using techniques that are outside our quality guidelines, which can be found here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769&hl=en. This appears to be because your site has been modified by a third party. Typically, the offending party gains access to an insecure directory that has open permissions. Many times, they will upload files or modify existing ones, which then show up as spam in our index. The following is some example hidden text we found at http://aquariumwaterfilters.com/: # # armored # breeder # enemy # sl # x1 # unwritten # lepage # org # cystic # magix # corbin # rivalry # hawkes In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, pages from aquariumwaterfilters.com are scheduled to be removed temporarily from our search results for at least 30 days. We would prefer to keep your pages in Google's index. If you wish to be reconsidered, please correct or remove all pages (may not be limited to the examples provided) that are outside our quality guidelines. One potential remedy is to contact your web host technical support for assistance.
