Where have you been?

Well, you’ve probably been right where you were, or needed to be. This site has been quiet for a while now, and as some of you know, was in fact labeled as an “attack site,” distributing malware. Apparently Murketing.com was hacked, and while fixing that problem took less than a day, the process of getting off the “attack site” list turned out to be much slower.

Really the only point of this  post is that I’m test driving the site again, as it was freed just minutes ago.

If all goes well I’ll post this past Sunday’s Consumed, and get back to regular … whatever.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

I was just about to leave a note on your facebook page to see if I was the only one getting that message. Good to see you back.

I thought it had been quiet. I always look forward to some good whatever.

Now you know your blog is worthy! Anyone can create a blog, but not anyone can say that their blog has been hacked. Congrats!

I noticed your blog going down immediately as a daily reader. Or at least going down to the tubes as far as online image goes. Glad you’re back Rob.
Cheers.

Welcome back! A pox upon your hax0rs.

If you’re not yet using Google Webmaster Tools, I’ve found it lets you immediately know when you’ve got a “possible attack site” issue and makes the process of getting off the naughty list go much quicker.
