    Google is currently 5th for the search term "Buy Viagra" at Yahoo.co.uk

    There is an amusing article about this, but I am curious to know why you think this has happened?

    I will share my theory soon.

    Viagra jokes are also welcome:p

    Google is now using interstitial pages for those using Google's url redirection script. These are used to cloak spammy pages, etc. - using Google's weight. I bet that link went to a pharmacy site or that interstitial, and not the Google homepage.

    The interstitial publishes a 302 redirect to the url being used, which seems to be vulnerable to a hijack, and Yahoo picked up on it, I think.

    Yahoo is good at fixing these things, they are rare and temporary.

    Very funny article but also kind of odd to see them using Viagra? Enter Bob Dole
