@vanessafox @glenngabe agree

@AnthonyHigman @YahwehtheLesser so Google ain't that bad....

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

@AnthonyHigman @YahwehtheLesser clearly - it doesn't know what you look like

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

@glenngabe @JohnnyHerge yea but spotted first by @bhartzer https://t.co/1mQ7cTFMj3 but @rajanpatel knows

[Bill Hartzer @bhartzer]

So, @rustybrick reported that Google's expanding their use of 'goto' URLs.

Can someone explain to me why Google's indexing their own 'goto' URLs and why they're redirecting but actually they're delivering a "200 OK" rather than a 301 or 302 redirect?

Something's going on here.

Not to mention the fact that Google appears to be indexing their own search results URLs.

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

@JohnnyHerge @bhartzer yep, I notified Google of that last night at https://t.co/8Aiz32Nz2B

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

@bhartzer they will fix it... super easy cc @rajanpatel

The IRS website dropped heavily in Google Search, I suspect b/c the fed gov't was too aggressive in blocking crawlers, including Google @lilyraynyc and @glenngabe have been following it closely and I suspect it will come back soon https://t.co/krqpL5XEPr
