    I see there are TON of people + seo companies + myself too and Google telling that the site coding should be user friendly.

    i have found a piece of code on search result page which links to google homepage, but does not display on the search result page.

    this is the exact extract:
    </head><body bgcolor=#ffffff onload="document.gs.reset();gnb._show();" topmargin=3 marginheight=3><noscript></noscript><div align=right nowrap style="padding-bottom:4px" width=100%><font size=-1><b>hasit@win2konline.net</b>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="/searchhistory/?hl=en">Search History</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount">My Account</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.google.com/accounts/Logout?continue=http://www.google.com/search%3Fsourceid%3Dnavclient%26ie%3DUTF-8%26rls%3DGGLG,GGLG:2006-29,GGLG:en%26q%3DCORPORATE%2BHOUSING">Sign out</a></font></div><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%><tr><form name=gs method=GET action=/search><td valign=top><a id=logo href="http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en"><span></span>Go to Google Home</a></td><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td valign=top width=100% style="padding-top:0px"><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0><tr><td height=14 valign=bottom><script><!--

    the link says </span>Go to Google Home</a>, but this is not displayed on the website, can anyone find why and how? is this a bug or my mistake?

    This is probably because the link is a direct link to the Google homepage?

    Not sure what you're asking, tho.
