I just found something strange.

I was trying to access Matt Cutts blog which is so favorite of SEO guys and I see it is hacked.

Some Dark SEO Team claims they hacked it.

This is something strange and interesting.



Or is it April Fool?

This is what I love (and hate) about the SEO community; there are too many people with idiotic alternate theories and absolutely no logic behind them other than "to get more traffic".

It probably is a joke, but it's not a traffic generator joke.

Even a novice can tell looking at that it isn't done by any hacker. I mean look at the design and content. These are not the type of defacement pages they put.

And most of the times the index page is replaced while in this case whole blog has been removed. In this case the attacker was able to put up a index.html page. It would have been a lot more realistic if there is a index.php page instead of index.html

Lastly, it is just based on my experience. It could be possible that his blog has been really hacked.

"Matt Cutts Blog Hacked" was an April Fools Day joke. He says so on his blog:
http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/

I highly doubt it was a publicity stunt, he's like the rock star of the SEO Industry. I would love to get an idea of how many unique visitors a day he gets.
