On August 8th, my blog, hosted at justinsomnia.org, disappeared from Google, completely, utterly without any warning or known provocation (e.g. black hat SEO), sending the traffic to my blog plummeting..What follows is a description of the hack and my eventually successful attempt to figure out who did this to me.

This is a great article, and it should be mandatory reading for every blog owner.
That post was discussed at reddit yesterday. And I felt the need to point out that not all SEMs are evil. If you want to have a look, the discussion is at http://reddit.com/info/2hgpz/comments and my ID is rgladstein. Overall, I think it’s a good article, but it always bothers me when people lump all SEMs together and label us as evil.
Yes, he’s condemning all search marketers rather than one particular person who hacked his blog.
You know Danny, since I was a wee little girl, I always looked up at you as the father of SEO so theoretically, this is really all your fault.
As I said in the comments of the blog posts, it’s more Script Kiddies playing at being SEO’s, than SEO’s playing at being Script Kiddies. Good post generally, just a shame he’s trying to tar everyone with his brush.
Liked the article right up to that point.
