For some malware, google shows this under search result of Duggal Visual Solutions. Fixed all of them on 23rd november, asked for review. No response from them. 3 days ago, I've updated sitemap, submitted on google, updated robots.txt, fetched and rendered all the problematic urls. Those urls shows a 404.
But the notice is still there. Google isn't doing anything. What should I do now to remove this? Company is losing customers for this. Is there any way to contact google directly?

I have created a new website www.bucketshowers.com and I tried to index it using google webmaster tools. Fetch as Google for the desktop worked just fine, but doing the same for mobile shows an error "Temporarily unreachbale". It's been a few days and the website REALLY is not avaible on mobile. It's driving me nuts. Here're is some information and things I have already tried:
Website is made with WP
I have disabled all SEO/meta tags plugins and I added a very basic robots.txt http://bucketshowers.com/robots.txt
I tried waiting 15min between fetching the root page on mobile
I have checked source code for the homepage to make sure there are no meta tags with nofollow or noindex attributes
I baffled by this issue and I would gladly take any advise/pointers what else can be done. Thank you.
The crazy thing was, that it was caused by WP Statistics plugin, which is probably the most popular from its kind - 500k downloads. When I deactivated it, everything is fine, google fetches of the mobile and the website is available. Incredible! I'm still searching for the actual problem within that plugin.
I Googled one of our sites today (gamestyling.com) and saw that the results where in Chinese. It looks like our site was hacked but I see no traces of that. When opening the site all looks normaal (no Chinese).
On further inspection it seems that Google doesn't see the website correctly:
I cannot verify in Google search console. When I use the meta tag it shows me it detected a completely different tag.
When running pagespeed insight the preview does show Chinese: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=gamestyling.com
Also, when running the site through a proxy it looks completely normal.
Any idea how I can get Google to see my site correctly or what is causing this issue?
UPDATE
I now have access to Google search console and found that someone already had access to the property (2nd user):
I cannot remove the user because it uses a meta tag that google thinks is still in the header but doesn't appear in my code. So I'm still not sure if someone is playing tricks on Google or that we've been actually hacked. Note; nothing has changed on the server itself.
UPDATE2
This article describes exactly what's going on; https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/09/malicious-google-search-console-verifications.html. I must say that's an amazing safety fault on Google's part...
I had experienced this issue on one of the site and resubmitted website for review in google webmasters. Search results in google were corrected in couple of days.
For a long time, the following href worked to embed a google doc viewer to all sorts of document types (when used in association with something like fancybox):
var href = "https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=" + my_url + "&embedded=true";
However, as of a day or 2 ago this no longer works AND the support page at Google:
Google Doc Viewer
Just redirects to the Google Docs homepage. (It used to provide a way to get the 'viewer link' by inputting your document's url.)
Anyone else running into this issue?
I also noticed that this was no longer working. It was an undocumented feature back when we started using it years ago, and Google has a habit of pulling the plug suddenly on entire divisions, so it wouldn't be a stretch to see them killing this feature.
Looks like this suddenly started working again a few days ago. The Google Doc Viewer link above still doesn't go to a dedicated page for the feature (it just redirects you to your Google Drive homepage), but the embedded doc viewer is again working. I guess Google can giveth and taketh away at any time. :)
I'm super new to making chrome extensions, but I really wanted to make one that let me highlight text and just do a simple same-page google image search of that text by clicking the extension button and opening a popup of the returned images from the query. So I made it and tested it using the deprecated google image search api. I want to put it live but I'm genuinely confused about the query limits. I have no intention to make money off of it in any way, considering the primary content of the extension is just a google image search. I just always hated having to open a new tab to search for images of a word I see on a website when surfing the web.
Also is it even possible to upload it to the store when it's using the deprecated google image search api that still works for some reason even without a key. Or would I need to update it to using the custom search api, which has only free 100 queries per day. And can someone explain that? If it's an extension, and a end user clicks on the extension button and it queries google custom search api, I'd only have 99 queries left for that day? So only about 2-5 people could actively use it during the day before the limit is reached? I spent hours reading stuff but I still don't quite understand.
Don't use the Image Search API. It was deprecated in May, 2011 with bests effort to keep it running for three years. It's now well past that best effort timeframe so I can disappear without notice leaving your extension broken.
The Custom Search JSON/Atom API free tier is 100 searches per day for your entire application. That that could be 100 people making one query each or 1 person making 100 queries.
In Google Anlytics I am getting hundreds of hits to pages which don't exist on my website which I assume are some sort of spam or bot realted thing.
I want to make sure that this isn't going to cause any issues to my site or be a security risk.
My website URL is imageworkshop.com, and the links that I am seeing are to the following paths on this domain:
/imagework/ineeta.V1.02.07.php
/imagework/ineeta.V1.02.13.php
/imagework/ineeta.V1.02.15.php
/imagework/ineeta.V1.03.01.php
/imagework/ineeta.V1.02.16.php
/imagework/ineeta.V1.02.08.php
Each of these pages is showing 150-300 page views (they just show 404 errors).
Average time on page shows 2-4 minutes for these.
Source of link shows as (direct) in google analytics.
Is this some kind of attempt at a brute force / SQL injection attack?
The visits have all happened 3-4 days apart through the month of October 2011.
Any suggestions on what this is or if I should be concerned?
The website is built on wordpress and does have a few plugins used - there is always a possibilty that these links are related to a plugin I guess?
I have wordpress up to date with the latest version (currently 3.2.1)
You're probably right. As long as those pages don't exist on your server there is no security risk.
