Google gets Google Hijacked

At the same time that reports are emerging about changes in Adsense, it appears that Google Adsense has been “Googlejacked” in Google’s search rankings, with an alternative site getting number one spot in Google for the term “Adsense”.

Screen shots are available here and here.

A search at Google for links to the site “”link:www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/” shows that blogs have played a role in the hijack in part by the use of blogspam, with the SixApart TypePad hosted blog of noted PR blogger Steve Rubel appearing at No 2 for the search.
