Was Google Hacked?

Reviewing some SEO work for one of our companies this morning I was surprised to see that last night (according to Google) we grew from about 20,000 pages of content cached to over 3,780,000,000.  What was more alarming was Google now showed under the search result a little note that said “this sight may harm your computer”.  The site was listed as a spam site!  I started to fire off a string of emails to get the technical team working on the problem, tried calling the CEO and then I noticed something even more alarming.

Google Continues to Dominate Search

In a recent research report by Nielson Online, Google continue to increase its market-share of on-line search growing to 57.7% of searches in November, up 2.2% from October.  The significant increase in search traffic continues to highlight the importance and impact of Google to the Internet experience.

Yahoo and MSN made up the majority of the market share lost to Google, while surprisingly AOL gained a small percentage of the search market.
