Do you use chrome? The web browser from google? If yes have you at times had to experience a "broken link" message whenever you are looking to access a new url? This has been happening just too often recently with me to be taken down as internet bandwith problems. So it looks like google is engaged in some underhand dealings with its clients who pay per click to google for directing any traffic towards them.
Above are two images taken a minute apart. The first time I tried to access the site it said "broken link" but when i persisted with the same url - it went through. If instead of persisting with the url entry in the address bar I had taken the easier option of clicking on the view cache option - google would show the traffic as directed by them to the site and charge them for the same. There are other insidious ways - for example when you are typing a website url - chrome suggests - now we are used to "inline complete" with IE browsers. So we happily click on this "suggestion" and the poor website ends up paying for the "click" to google because this is technically a search made which resulted in a "click" via google servers.
google is most welcome to prove otherwise. To imagine what they would do if allowed to take over our os's is anybody's guess.
