    Hi,

    When you search Google for Generic Viagra the 3rd result is to 'cot.sullivan.edu' but after clicking on the link you are redirected to a Canadian pharmacy.

    I am really confused how this site is getting away with this and would have though that sullivan.edu would have shut this down ?

    It's called cloaking. They're doing some clever redirection server side based on referrers.

    Of course it is black hat fella - I have not looked but it is easy to nail - just report them if you feel inclined as it sounds like a drop that has been picked up and I doubt the Big G will be all that impressed with what they find by the sounds of it.

    G might be many things but infallible is not one of them and unless anyone gives them the heads up they can't find all trash on the net :)

    That 's the same fricken Pharmacy that has been spamming the hell out of my email addresses !:mad:
    They are relentless and they are not even in Canada, if memory serves me correctly, they are hosted in China.

    Bastards !

    Yep ! It's the exact same website, and everything...it's just on a different domain...I suspect they probably have a bunch of clones..but that is definitely them.

    Go for the report and nail them then fella - I for one cannot stand crud in my inbox or on the net and the sooner it is sorted the better imho - if you have any problems and need any back up - I am just a message away!
