Google Adsense Got Hijacked

Wednesday 25 May 2005 @ 11:50 am

Last night around 11pm GMT+8, when I was recommending Google Adsense to one of my friends, I searched in Google for its URL. I found that the first link appeared in the search result was not
www.google.com/adsense/,
instead,
www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/ was.

Coincidentally, JenSense blogged about “Google AdSense Site Hijacked” too.

Quoted:
Yes, the first result for “Google AdSense” and “AdSense” goes to www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/, which if you click it, goes straight to the Google AdSense main index page. And if you watch the redirect fast enough, you can see the www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/ page sitting pretty with a PR9. The actual Google AdSense main page is a grey bar. The Google cache of the www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/ page also shows the Google AdSense index page.

Anyway, this is the first time I see Google program’s URL has been hijacked in its own search results. :D

Note:
Go check it out now, I believe this unusual rank won’t last for too long.

i noticed that as well and wanted to blog about it haha…anyway…is there any problem if we click on that link and login? will the site get our login and password?

I don’t think they will have the detail of our login, because JenSense said too, the website will do a redirection to the real Adsense page.

So, I believe there won’t be any information transfered during the redirection until you enter your detail into the real Adsense page. :)
