302 Hijackers

[kyle422]

I did a search to check if I've been Hijacked and found out I was. Luckily the hijackers page has been de-indexed. I emailed the webmaster and asked him to remove my link. I'm waiting to hear back from him or her. It may be a mistake and he may not be aware of it. Anyhow, if you want to check if you've JACKED, here's how.
allinurl:yoursite .com

What do you mean by "highjacked" Kyle?

I found another website that has a list of real estate agents by city and state that are using 302 redirects.

You might want to check and see if you are in their directory.

This site showed up in my allinurl search.

Certain directories send spiders out that collect links in link pages or other directories. The evil directory puts the links the spider finds on it's site using 302 redirects. What happens is a 302 says 'this page has temporarily moved to the location Im pointing to so go to that location to get this page' so google bot makes a cache of your homepage (or whatever page the redirect points to) and assigns it to the page holding the redirect. Now you have 2 cached pages exactly the same. Sometimes the real homepage gets penalized because it is the 'temporary' URL that the 302 is pointing at.
My rankings in G00gle have been hurt substantially from redirects. So do the allinurl:your site .com see if you've been hijacked! I've read that if you are above PR 5 site you are usually safe. Also if you use your full URL in all of your internal links, it helps prevent 302's. Example <a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/MLSSEARCH.html"/>

Yes, you have to watch out how those links look in the bottom left corner of your browser when you mouse over them. Don't link to them if they show anything else but your URL. Also check their source code to see if they use Javascript. But the worst is 302 redirects. An example would like http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start...l%3Dhttp://www.MySite.com%252F&e=9888

What was the deal with Total Real Estate Solutions? Seems like the only weird url is from them & their other site owners. Looks like I have two listings with them although I could only fine one live one. I don't have their link on my site anymore, haven't had it for quite some time. If it's a bad thing I'll have to request to be removed because I couldn't do it myself (I just want to be sure first).
