TraustiThor··on Candy Crush Monetization and Virality
I agree that the game itself is not really better than bejeweled or other similar games. It's the manipulative social strategies that they use to get people hooked and get people to spread the game to their friends that differentiates it from previous games. You can't argue with their success!

Thank you, I think it is ok for now.

I found and removed the spammy links, and it passes http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/website-safety-reports/domain/t... and it came out clean after I removed those Viagara links in header.php.

I also upgraded to the newest version of wordpress and changed passwords. The hackers might have left a back door, so I will need to reinstall everything.

Hi, I just scanned it with:

and it came out clean after I removed those Viagara links. However, I'll go through and harden my wordpress setup.

Thanks for pointing this out! I found the spammy links in my wordpress header.php file and removed them. I don't know how they got there.
