: Query string variable "do" with value "ninja" appearing in search results I did a generic Google search to see if my site shows up somewhere on the first page and it did, however I am seeing
I did a generic Google search to see if my site shows up somewhere on the first page and it did, however I am seeing a strange query string in the place where you would normally see a plain url to the article (green url under the main link title on a SERP):
domain.net/?do=ninja
I tried searching for what it could mean but didn't find anything related to the topic.
Is my site infected with some malware? (I'm using WordPress if that changes anything).

What is your default URL set to in Webmaster?
Webmaster also gives you the ability to identify query strings and how they relate to your site. This also automatically identifies query strings it's found on your site - check the list to see if this one appears.
It's also worth checking your backlink profile, in case Google has discarded defaults in favour of a popular link it's found with identical content to your main page. What it will do in this circumstance is assume that your default is a duplicate of the popular link - replacing it. You can use the same URL parameters console to eliminate Google viewing this query string as a valid modifier.
