    Hi,
    I am in need of some help....

    First go to Google and search the word "bumline".... you will see the first site is Bumline.net. When you click on the link that google provides it takes you to some IP address and directs it back to the Google home page....

    This site has been around for 3 years and gets 700 hits a day from Google normally. I have had the problem for 2 weeks now and I haven't been able to solve it

    I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

    whats causing it, what can i do to stop it, what IS IT!!!

    The webmaster of the website has a re-direct set to google. It's a black hat technique some webmasters use to try and fool Google and get a 10 PR ranking. Thats what it looks like to me anyway.

    It's strange that it only happens when you click on your url in search engine results. If you just type in your url it works fine. When I viewed your source code I did see a bunch of hidden divs filled with credit union links. So it does look like you were hacked. I'm not really sure how they would pull of that ip problem though. Perhaps it only redirects if it is not a direct hit.

    I think this website is hacked! or webmaster has redirected it to Google through meta refresh.
