Re: [backstage] Anybody know about this?
I'd vote "a little more nefarious" myself.Visiting the root news-channel.org renders an empty page (no errors).Visiting the same with the googlebot user-agent renders irrelevant filler text + link bait (including one to www.news.bbc.co.uk.news-channel).An entire site that only answers to googlebot is rarely a good sign.ShaunOn 02 Jul, 2010,at 05:27 PM, Anthony McKale wrote:I saw that too recently... wierd On 02/07/2010 16:23, "Christopher Woods" wrote: > Just searched for "Beryl Bainbridge BBC Four Documentary" in Google, and > amongst results this popped up: > > BBC - BBC Four Programmes - Beryl's Last Year > 24 Mar 2010 ...
