- johnsee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8It seems to just be the first result.
My guess is it a feature, based to stop websites redirecting you to alternate sites with a redirect. - Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No one is going to sue. Google's a private company and can list any site's they choose. Just like you can't sue for Google dropping your site, you won't be able to sue for this.
- Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Just because you'd encountered it before doesn't mean it's not worthy of a post... I hadn't run into it, and I run a website so I figured it's something others might find interesting as well.
- SamuraiGhost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@skitzzo, You can sue for anything. It does not mean you will win though.
- mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I works for me. What search engine are you using now, and what are you searching for that you can't find on Google?
- twertyto, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Sucks for Google since they are probably going to have to deal with various websites suing them for lost business. I know its stupid but people are stupid.
- rikardos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is happening to my site since February. According to google it is kinda spam protection, but since my site is photo gallery of my hometown, not any spam or whatever I don't know what it is good for. For instant check this search result:
http://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=sk&q=site%3Azilina-gallery.sk+vystavbe&btnG=H%C4%BEada%C5%A5&lr=lang_sk
I must be logged in google account to encounter that redirection warning. If anybody know how to get rid of it please let me know. - jbzd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@skitzzo: if being listed on the NASDAQ makes you a private company them I'm in!
- HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is not real news. I encountered this recently when using Firefox with Google.
I moved part of my website to a new directory and setup a php based redirect file to send all traffic tied to the old links to the new location. Until the search engines figure out that the old pages have moved I do not want to lose any of the search traffic. - eKstreme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dude. Google announced a couple of weeks ago that they will turn on personalized search by default and you have to jump through hoops to turn it off. If the redirection problem exists for even a tiny proportion of Google's users, it will be a big problem simply because there are lots of users.
- apotropaic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sounds like a good guess to me. Why would somebody use commas in a url anyway? What a horrible idea. There are better ways people! I've developed many different types of web apps and sites and I've never come across a need for commas. Its UGLY too. try using .htaccess file and make some pretty urls, like digg! lol
- morouxshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i sue you SamuraiGhost for pointing out the truth!
- MattIndustries, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1NOT A GLITCH, THIS IS SO SPAMMERS WILL STOP USING GOOGLE TO REDIRECT TO SPAM SITES.
With that said, they still have the news redirects that work. - petercooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Doesn't happen at all to me and I followed the link they gave and was logged in. It went to the MySQL page without fault.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is a pretty common "feature" that allows search engines to figure out what sites are the most popular. Compared to other engines I've seen use these redirect links, Google is a clear winner because issues arise with it so rarely.
- Sc0rian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i noticed this today but didnt think much to it.
prelude, not really? name a better search engine.
yahoo.. yup thats crap
msn.. doesnt find anything you search for
all the others, drops outs
google - finds what you search - mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Log into your Google account, make sure you have personalized search turned on" - wtf? If I don't know how to turn personalized search on, I expect >99% of people using Google don't either, and don't care. When I do the search and click on the first link it just goes to this http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?113,44592,44592. I don't get what the problem is.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've been running in to that on a few sites throughout the week. Never thought it was a Google page though, figure they put it up.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Google sucks now, they can't do anything right.
- ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Oh noes the Googles! SEO spammers everywhere are crying in their soup!
- scronline, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1The sooner that "the masses" realize that google is broken as a whole the better. I stopped using google for a search engine 3 years ago. 3 years ago I stopped having to look through 5 pages to find a relevant link and started finding what I needed in 1 maybe 2.
Let's hope that more of this happens so we end up with people realizing that Google doesn't work anymore.
