This isn't a new exploit, but Slashdot today mentions millions of pages are being Google Hijacked using the 302 redirect exploit and that this could have catastrophic effects for the websites involved. I have no sympathy for whoever relies on Google to drive new revenue or are otherwise reliant on them. Surely they've heard of "single points of failure"??

Diversity is good.

Unfortunately millions of users like me are too lazy to use other search engines (any more), or just clueless, and so have to deal with linkfarms and the like exploiting google. There are some interesting suggestions here in the thread http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=143465&cid=12025496
