Google Hijacks are back not only the 301 but the 302 hijack, frickin awesome hey..
This started a few Months ago, I was looking at integrating www.v10.co.uk which can handle 301 and 302 redirection tracking into MOOPand I noticed this Search term you can see the V10 link which is 302 redirect so that I not passing linkage.
then later today I was looking to see if this Gala Bingo Review was ranking I noticed this :
you notice the www.theukhighstreet.com/Gala-Bingo_J3473 well guess what it’s 302 :
Ok that the 302 hijacks, I’m trying to get permission on the 301 at the moment it’s a bit of a delicate subject..

I’m sure the hijack party will end at some point!

That’s naughty, and it’s an affiliate link too. Having sat in position 4 for Gala Bingo in the distant past, that’s a pretty lucrative spot to be in.
Talking of onlinebingoalerts – what happened to the old domains? I’d noticed they were out of the bingo SERPs a couple of weeks ago, the old bingoalerts domains seemed to have a bit of a penalty on it? Were some Google filters tripped somewhere down the line?

I agree with Joost. I have seen this in a few places now here in the US and this has been for quite some time.
It doesn’t work for a long period of time, but turning a 302 on and off seems to confuse Google and gives the results you see.

[...] 302 Hijacking ist zurück! – oh man, Google! [...]
Have they ever been gone? They weren’t as ubiquitous at some point, but I’ve ALWAYS seen them in the Dutch SERPs…
