gmyachtsman··on Google Can’t Get You Lucky Anymore: It is Search Result Impotent
Hey Seth, I found how you can get the same result: set your search to return 100 results per page and you will see google send the same domains over and over in a row.

Hey binary, if you still care -- I realized that these google search results of link after link from the same domain, happens only when you have the search setting to return more than 10 results per page (worst problem at 100 results/page). Change your settings to 100 and you will see the same.

Hey Dave, if you are still interested -- I figured out what is causing my funky search results. If you set your google search to return 100 results on a page, you will see the same: multiple results in a row from a few domains. (I edited my original post too, so that people can see how to duplicate the problem).

13rules, are you getting 10 results on a page or 100? I can't see if there are more than 10 or see the url. The problem is only happening when displaying more than 10 search results on a page.

In China the seat belts in Taxi's are so dirty, if they have them at all (most are removed), that if you put the belt on, your clothes will be filthy when you get out. That is because the seat belts are never used. So it is your safety or or cleanliness and appearance -- even I am reluctant to cover myself with filth for a short trip.

Here is the url from google search. I should have given it originally: https://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=sun+ha...
gmyachtsman··on Wow: Craigslist loses Craigslists.com domain dispute
Sounds like one of the Craig's needs some new lawyers.

I solved this problem -- I had my search preferences set to return 100 results. If I change it to return 10 results, I no longer get duplication of results. Seems like google really wants to push users to refresh their ads.

Yes, they are different pages on each of the .com sites, but still, it is really repetitive. I would if others like you are getting duplicative results on other topics. (Though for me it seems to be all around -- even Sunday News which I would never be actually putting into the google search engine). This duplication problem is not appearing for me in yahoo to anywhere the same extent.

davewasthere, hmmm, folding sun hat is not exactly my search term. Seems you are in the UK, I am in NYC, but this is what I am getting: http://blog.thatwayhat.com/blogfiles/folding-sun-hat-Google-...

I would not have searched exactly for this before, but I am getting 4 in a row from ifactoryoutlet.com 3 in a row from dharmatrading.com 11 in a row from alibaba.com etc

Thanks, I do know google shopping and even list my products there. I wonder if other people are having the same problems for things that they search for frequently -- whatever that is.

hmmm, I had not thought of malware.

Not spammed at all -- this is what I am dealing with and thought it was google.

From what everyone here is saying, it is clear to me I am being put in some kind of fish bowl with the results I am getting while other people are not in my same fish bowl. I can't explain it, since (as I mentioned above) I cleared my history and cache, signed out, restart browser and still the same outcome. Personally I care a lot about the results both for my business purposes and my personal searching, so this upsets me a lot.

I posted the pdf's of the results (linked to the search terms). I see google giving me results like this a lot. I signed out of google, cleared my browser cache and history, and still the same results. I never joined google plus.

I am getting this kind of result all the time from google. Interesting you are not.

What do you think, am I right about this?
gmyachtsman··on Am I being completely unreal?
It depends on what you would want out of college. College could be a very social experience where you talk things out, think a lot and make great friends. If you have a great relationship with your 3 friends you are half way there already. The other thing you get in college is inspiration from a few great professors, if you are lucky enough to find them.
gmyachtsman··on It's 2am. Do you know if your SSL certs are throwing warnings?
If you have a link from a https page to a http page, including say to twitter, you will get a warning. Once you are on your https page, if you go back to your other pages, they will also show up using https, so it gets that much harder.
