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.
:O i like it
Nice post, lol, too bad I didn’t read it earlier.
Its not just Adsense either. Google has been out SEO’d on all of their services except tools that have SEO departments.
