Hi,
i dont see the q=bad+neighborhood& in the string anywhere.
Do I need to go to google.com/url without being logged in?

Anyway to stop the cloaked URLs from showing up in the SERPs? I hate having to open the page just to copy/paste the intended destination URL when firefox provides the oh-so-convenient “Copy Link Location.”

Thanks,
Guy

I think the cloaking actually makes sense for the most users who expect to see the destination URL when they mouse over.

Ha, whenever Google says something like, “Don’t bother reading this post, it just for geeks,” that means you should actually laser in on it.
