I had been suffering this during a month, Once I found a popup from the firefox sayin that i was visiting a dangerous site... Then I asked to my hosting, and they told me to change my ftp password, this worked, but I had to be 2 weeks erasing odd codes hidden eveywhere. I suspect that the virus was somebody catching ftp passwords from some kind of wordpress plugin that asked for the ftp details in order to do something ( I had been installing a lot of plugins that day. I posted the History here: <a href='http://the-web-tycoon.com/blog/2009/09/my-first-post-after-killing-many-viruses-on-holidays-direct-monetization-of-facebook-and-twitter/' rel="nofollow">My first post after killing many viruses on holidays: Direct Monetization of Facebook and Twitter</a> My Website was attacked by a virus like this once, the difference is that the virus I had, erased some code when pasting thelinks and the iframes and this caused my block to break completely ( and the virus vas doing it everiday).

I do agree, generating traffic in unique ways is where we should concentrate on...everything gets saturated, but it is an interesting point, I am always up for new ways of generated more organic traffic. thanks again Hey Dave,

Blogging can be challenging. I remember the days when I would freak out when the least little thing went wrong. Now, I was able to withstand losing an entire two yearsworth of blogging to some sort of glitch. At the moment, my blog traffic is plummeting to new lows. i don't know if I did something wrong of if the Google gods just don't love me anymore! But I really would like to build a loyal, faithful bunch of readers, not just ones who fly in thru a search engine and are never seen again! I've actually BEEN trying this for years, but I just can't seem to get the spark to catch fire! One blogger I ran across had a wonderful knack for drawing COMMENTERS to her blog. It was just like a forum, a place for wonderful interaction. But something funny happened: she got tired of writing a political blog, and added entertainment and computer-related posts. Her traffic dropped from 10K to less than 400 a day. The comments dried up too, and although she returned to political bloggig, the numbers never went back up. Sad thing is we all seem to be at the mercy of Google and Technorati. Mabe we should work harder at attracting traffic in other ways. What do YOU think? Hi Chad! Blogging can be challenging.
