Google Adsense drops in SERPS for “Adsense”
Jensense and others point out that a Google query for Google AdSense no longer shows Google Adsense in the #1, but rather something called http://www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/. The source to the hijacking page, which just refreshes itself immediately to the true Google Adsense page, is:
<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=https://www.google.com/adsense/"> <TITLE></TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>
And, here’s a screenshot of the hijacking:

I was aware of 302 hijacking. But I thought that Google had essentially fixed this and related problems. This is… amusing.

I was talking to a new Google hire today about the redirect problems, and told him his #1 priority there should be to fix them. He said, “Should I tell them before or after I’m pushed out the door.” Someone I doubt they’ll ever fix it…

Well, I imagine that if they don’t solve it sooner or later, those who are into web site defacement will eventually start SEO businesses.

Its not just Adsense either. Google has been out SEO’d on all of their services except tools that have SEO departments.
