Deadmau5 Site hacked and Blackhat SEO
Sep 16th
Hi all I mentioned a few days ago that some one had hacked into the Deadmau5 website and also their webmaster tools account and added Viagra affiliate links.
I am surprised they have not still picked up this, the site is run by Virgin records and I have tried to email them.
Looking at the source code the hackers have used black hat in a hidden DIV to add a large amount of links to adult websites –

Another point is that this site is going crazy at the moment on Google Trends –

Deadmau5 weird Google Search Results

deadmau5 Google
Today I was looking at Google trends and I saw that the popular DJ Deadmau5 was ranking 7th for the hottest search query of the day due to his recent publicity around the VMA awards.
As I always like to check out who is ranking on SEO for big trending terms and see what tactics they are using I noticed something very interesting on the Deadmau5 official site ranking first the top site link was “Buy Viagra online no prescription” this got me thinking how was this happening! the first thought was a paid text link on deadmau5s site was picking this up! (not the case no paid external links or display units) Then I thought some one must have hacked into the official Google webmaster tools account for this website and places this link here.
Has any one seen something like this for a high traffic search term?
