My website just got infected with malware... What are the SEO implications?

Hi there,

I see this every so often and unfortunately all you can do is what google/Matt Cutts and his team asks of us, it is frustrating that a hacked/infected.... site is penalised at no fault of our own, but once you have cleared the issues, resubmitted in approximately 4 to 6 weeks time you should start to bounce back (once Google has performed its spider search), if this does not happen then it may well be worth while looking into your link profile for any dodgy links...

it maybe worth you while taking a look at this video by Matt Cutts in relation to the lates Algorithm update (penguin 2.0) and how it effects hacked sites....
