Crenk

With Digg currently being rumoured to be in talks with Microsoft for an acquisition, I thought I would check out and see how the Digg competitors are fairing. One of Diggs’ main competitors is Mixx, now Mixx has been gaining a lot of traffic of late, but I still have a lot of problems with their site compared to Digg.

It seems like everytime I go to Mixx the site isnt function right. Today I headed there to promote a few of our articles, but I could barely launch the site and when I went to submit an article it wouldnt even load the page. So with all the growth, funding and syndication deals, how come Mixx still isnt up to scratch?

You might have noticed towards the end of last week Crenk got hacked and someone from South Korea placed malicious software onto our website. The only way I could get rid of it was to reinstall Wordpress. The site is now back to normal and it is functioning fine. However, this being said, the intrusion has caused us a great deal of problems and has also killed our traffic. Google has placed the site on watch and has been suspended from their search results until the problem has been resolved. Now it has all been resolved so Google will be placing the site back up in the next day. Thank you good people at Google. This cost us a lot of traffic!

Has anyone else had the same problem or a similar one?
