    Hello,
    from some days i am facing a strange error.
    whenever someone is searching for some keywords that rank my forum on top in search results, users are not landing on my site in first visit.
    For Example if you search for "fsc physics notes" my site comes at 2nd or 3rd spot
    my site is "www.xitclub.com"
    when user click 1st time onmy search result user is not landing tomy site, its redirecting to some other site named "myfilestore" and if user clicks again then user is landing to my site.
    can someone help me in this issue ??

    Your 5th in the results, and I did experience what you described. The first time I clicked I was redirected to another site. I went back and then got to your forum. This is a problem with your forum, not Google. Your forum either has been hacked, or you have some sort of ad code that redirects to this page. I would recommend restoring a previous DB until the problem goes away, and then search changes for the cause. You have backups, right?

    That backup probably won't help you. What I would do is backup your database and do a fresh install of the forum. You might have to reinstall your theme as well. Then load the database and try out the search link again.

    It is working fine now. I suggest you enable your plugins one by one until you find which one is the culprit.
