For what it may be worth, for the last couple of months, Google has been redirecting me to advertising pages. If I hit "History" then "Google results" it taked me back to the search page. Clicking again on the desired link then takes me to the page I want. Clicking "Back" doesn't work as it just steers me to the "redirect" page. I've assumed (with the usual warning about asumptions) that it was simply an advertising ploy, which is why I now use Lycos for searches. This seems to happen on my home computer, but not the one at work (go figure).
