weird thing.. :)
but who uses Yahoo! anyway ? :P |
That's because www.voteting.com does a 302 redirect to www.google.com for some reason. Probably some dodgy blackhat SEO going on to try and increase their ranking in search engines or something. (Also they'd be better off using "sneaky redirects" that only target search engines rather than just a redirect because nobody can get to their website at all now!)
Yahoo is pretty stupid to change the page title and text for the redirect target in their results though. Maybe this is because its also listed in their (paid for) directory though. |
It is back to normal now... |
You're right. They must have just changed it. When I posted my previous comment about an hour ago it was still displaying the same as your screenshot. |
No they didn't. (As of 3PM GMT)

Haochi is right, maybe it takes to propagate the (manual) to all their data centers. |
