How do you regain your search engine position after being hacked?
I had the #1 position in google and good position in all search engines for my main search term of "auditions". I was hacked and a page of unreadable letters and symbols added before my <head> tags. so when google indexed me it was seeing this rubbish. I have resubmitted myself but how long does it take to get back your previous position and is there anything that can be done to make this process quicker other than having to pay for placement?
Is there anything a website owner can do legally if this occurs as its the 3rd time in 2 years. I am looking at purchasing a recruitment software as my sites base is in nuke8php but it is majorly customized so I cannot add any patches. Help

Last post for the night. You really need to change platforms. You are getting hit with a bad exploit. You need to figure out a patch because this will continue to happen. You would have to locate the source of the intrusion in your log files and track and find the ip and locate it. I don’t know your skill level in this area.
What I would do and do for clients when this happens is link to a old domain I have which is pr 6 and in a few days it helps get me back in the rankings real fast. Its simple. Go to a site called pingler.com. This site is a custom pingler we developed. Its very effective and will get you back on track. What is the web address and I will get you reindexed.
