but this URI redirection stuff isn't very friendly
>when used by a spammer.
Ben, the key is the "btnI" param, which maps to the "I'm feeling lucky"
button.
This technique appeared last summer (I deployed my non-SA-based rule on
03-Jul-2007).
Thank you, this is very valuable. I wonder if Google will ever consider
turning it off, since it's being abused.
For now, I'm going with:
uri GOOG_REDIR_SLASH
m{^https?://(?:\w+\.)*google\.(com|co\.uk|tw)/{2,}search}
score GOOG_REDIR_SLASH 1.0
describe GOOG_REDIR_SLASH Google URL has extra slashes
after domain
uri GOOG_REDIR_LUCKY
m{^https?://(?:\w+\.)*google\.(com|co\.uk|tw)/+search.*btnI}
score GOOG_REDIR_LUCKY 3.0
describe GOOG_REDIR_LUCKY Google URL uses I'm Feeling
Lucky for blind redirect
uri GOOG_PAGES
m{^https?://(?:\w+\.)*googlepages\.(com|co\.uk|tw)}
score GOOG_PAGES 2.0
describe GOOG_PAGES URL hosted at GooglePages
...seems pretty safe.
