Hi,

depends on what you actually checked for. 

- did you check for files changed in the past X days (using find -mtime)
- did you check for eval() inserted or strange includes
- did you check the apache config
- htaccess rewrites (targeting only search engines maybe) 
- did you check if all pictures on the site are actually ones
- did you check your rewrites (wp internal)

etc.?

There are so many ways to do this. Most wp auto hackers are dumb enough to insert just a line on top of index.php on the current theme or something (sometimes hidden using eval and base64 etc.), but some are actually smarter. If you can tell us what you actually checked for, we might be able to give you some more things to look for.

cheers,
Alex
