Default Has my wordpress site been hacked?

Whenever i click on any links on the SERPs, i get redirected to youfindmore.com/xxxxx rather than my wordpress blog.

I am assuming my site has been hacked - how do i fix this?

the site is not new, and ranks for many keywords in google, however for a few particular keywords you are redirected to an alternate site.

How do i stop this?

You're off to figure it out yourselves then. None of us here can magically figure out if its hacked or not without looking at the website

Is it only certain keywords, or any time you visit your site from Google? They could've slipped a little redirect in one of your WP theme files that sends anyone referred from Google to the other site. Not hard to do with php. You should have a look at your theme's template files for any suspicious code which may have been inserted.

Or as legoego suggested, you could just try changing the theme. I would upload a fresh one, as they may have inserted the code into all the themes in your folder. If that stops it then clean up your old themes files, or upload it again fresh.

By only redirecting Google, they were probably hoping it'd take longer for you to notice. Were you by any chance running an older version of WP? If so, you should update it after you fix the problem. Old versions get hacked all the time.

Yea sorry I was a bit brief with my last post.. I meant to say maybe you got your WP theme from a bad source.. trying using a theme that you know is clean..

Thanks nambu for clarifying!

I also asked about the free hosting since some free host do a little redirecting as well..
