Bill the Cat Hack It Wasn't - Follow-up

Just wanted to pass along some information that has helped me through this ugly period.

Both Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Toolbox have been extremely helpful with listing of keywords (seeing the bad ones disappear) and page visits. Without this kind of information I would be very much in the dark. I would also not be able to see when things are starting to change - right themselves. So if you don't Analytics or Webmaster Toolbox I highly recomend you do.

Also, as I mentioned in my article, a very nice WebProWorld moderator passed along an htaccess file which I modified to cover specific keywords and phrases that were being used. We are now in the process of alphabetizing the list to easily add need words or phrases, so it if you would like a copy just drop me a note.

Live Help Crafty Syntax has allowed me to watch who comes online and what pages they visit so I can feel secure.

I sure don't wish this on anyone, but I sure have learned a lot. If you every find yourself in this spot I will be happy to pass on what I have learned.
