Symbolics.com, the oldest site on the Internet (Record created on 15-Mar-1985), is spamming Google. Additionally, they are cloaking so that regular users are brought to an error message. You can verify this with the Google cache. For some strange reason they are showing Google ads to the Googlebot, adsense client # pub-6670698591985563.

Cheers,
Brian

Did the Internet already exist in 1985?

Luca, I was asleep of course there was such thing as the IP. I realy ment the World Wide Web. But indeed you don't need WWW to create a domain name.
