Leo - I am very sorry I entered the wrong address for the site which was google jacked above. So it does not appear that I am trying to "stuff" your blog I will just say the offended site was a .net not a .org. I did forget to add that until my site was google jacked I had a #2 rank on the specific search terms for my niche site (which I built for my wife).

After my site http://www.smallshoes.org was Google Jacked I set up a site trying to get an idea of how many sites have been Google Jacked at http://www.googlejacking.org since I have not been able to find any stats on this.

It could also be used for even more nefarious purposes. A scripted page that checks the UserAgent can send bots to genuine content while everyone else
gets sent to a page with malicious content. For example: A googlejacked link for Katrina victims would show up on google as if it was the real deal because for any crawling bot
it would be, but everyone else would be sent to MaliciousSite.blah

I use a tool called "Curl" (http://curl.haxx.se) - unfortunately it's fairly techie to get the right version and set up, but once you have it you can do something like this (in a command shell):

curl -I http://ask-leo.com/d-ms

which returns what's called the "header" information. In that case it'll show that that URL is a 301 redirect to http://microsoft.com.

Can someone tell me how do I know if godaddy.com uses 301, 302 or 200 for redirects?

How can I tell?

Thanks,
Fran
