Odd return on a Google search
-
Hi, kids! A Google search for "wav files" (with or without quotation marks)has brought up two pages from my Web site on the first page of returns for years now (did today too, BTW).The other returns have been the same sites for years as well (we have the advantage of having been around a long time, and hundreds of sites have links to us). In any case, all of the sites offer computer sound files in wav format.(Mine are just funnier than the others) Being a diligent little peckerwood, I run this search every month or so just to stay current. A check this morning surprised me with a new entry at the #4 spot (ahead of me, those cads!). I quickly clicked the link to find out about the new "first page" kid. The mouseover listed the address as www.hometurf.com/music1.html but I was bumped instead to www.resumepages.com/ The resume site naturally has nothing to do with wav files, and a source code check revealed no untoward META tags. The site reeks of cheese, however, so I'm wondering whether this is just an HTML trick to rope people in. Google has proven very effective at rooting these sorts of sites out, so if trickery is involved, I'd guess it's something new. So, what's the poop, group? Thank you for your time.

Answer:
Hi, To help Google weed out these types of sneaky redirects you can visit this page here for info ://www.google.com/intl/vi/webmasters/guidelines.html and here for reporting. ://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html It doesn't look like the page is cloaking at all, and as dpa-ga below suggests it is redirecting twice to get to where it is going. I would guess that the page at some point did exist, but now is missing or has been purchased. thanks, webadept-ga
