So last night I started thinking about some weird going ons at Google. These are not widespread but they also do not appear to be rare occurrences. First the site: searches at Google (which are supposed to only return pages from one domain) returns pages from multiple domains.
Then I notice Adsense site diagnostic report (screen capture below) is telling me that my site is not letting it crawl some pages. Upon a closer look I notice that Adsense thinks msncache.com is part of my site. (Sidenote msn.com robots.txt allows it to be crawled it. Adsense crawls the msn serps to discover as many pages of your site so it can better classify it and show relevant ads.)
Don’t panic just yet. This is not a return of the 302 hijacking issue. This is something different. It does not appear to be hijacking more like a simple reporting bug. I am still trying to figure out how this reporting bug could occur. Hopefully this is not a bigger issue of Google not being able to tell proper ownership of sites.
