Question Adsense Scam?
If you search for "adsense" in Yahoo:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=adsense
you'll notice that the 1st result is not Google's adsense site but:
*https://*3919063342844.*qos.*google.*com/adsense

Is this a phishing scam?

Why is this page #1?

Interesting Find
Indeed!
What the hay is this?

"Other pages from this site" = 8
"Other pages from REAL site = over 200.

Looks like BS to me.
I am not going to enter my username and password any time soon, to this "Secure" website. I hope that folks recognize the bogus 13-digit URL, but many may not ...

I bet that one of the gurus here will flesh it out shortly, and offer us more insight.

I don't know why they do it but it is the google site - you can change the number to anything & it still works ie

It's a google redirect that has been exploited. There are a ton of sites like that

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22qos.google.com%22&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&safe=off&start=20&sa=N

I think it's done for fun but I could be wrong.
