The first result for "Google Finance" on Google is "google launches google finance".
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+finance |
Yeah interesting, the first result is for http://finance.google.com/ with no cache, and that redirects to the second result http://finance.google.com/finance
"google launches google finance" is not the title of the landing page "Google Finance" is. |
HTTP/1.x 302 Moved Temporarily

302 redirect – ha, wonder if that caused google.com/finance to go supplemental
:) |
Just joking, finance.google.com/finance would be the supplemental and google.com/finance would get a dup penalty :) |
Maybe they should file a pre-emptive re-inclusion request :) |
On a slightly related topic, Yahoo Finance is still holding the top spot for a search for GOOG (apart from the usual stock thing)

Mrrix32 notice the #2 and #3 result – the exact same page from G –
#2
http://finance.google.com/finance?q=GOOG
#3
http://finance.google.com/finance?q=goog
Google appears to double up listings in the SERPs for 302 redirects, subdomains, and lower or uppercase filenames...
- Probably old news but I've never noticed. BTW, I'm just up late goofing around on a Friday night. Reading my previous entries in this thread make me sound grouchy ***Full disclosure – I've never had a problem with the websites I run with duplicate content, redirects, and have never even tried cloaking*** It just sure looks like one could double up the amount of pages they have ranking well in the SERPs by:
Mirroring their subdomain website and doing a 302 redirect to another folder
Having a duplicate page in a directory instead off the subdomain
Using upper and lowercase file names
If those three types of duplicate content are ranking fine for G – I wonder how long that has been going on – and how long will Google's rankings stay like that? Maybe this is just an example of how high PR trumps all?

Technically, changing the case of characters in a filename or query string *could* lead to a different page though, so they're probably correct to do that. |
Yeah Tony – case sensitive issues ... however, wouldn't, or shouldn't googlebot spot this right off? – why not automatically differentiate the pages based on the content; recognize a page as repeat content and then discard it? – case sensitive filename or not?
Can gbot or their algo even spot a repeat page?
Why are there THREE identical pages in the SERPs for google finance?
The current representation of googlebot's and their algo's intelligence is three repeat pages?
