Entireweb Newsletter - Google Affected by Own Search Exploit
Drawing into question the safety of Google’s indexing system, the Web site all-in-one-business.com managed to “hijack” Google’s position in its search results with a 302 server redirect. Following the redirect, a query for “Google AdSense” returned results pointing to the unrelated site, rather than Google itself.

Google only recognizes the main domain, but MSN and others recognize the forwarded domains. Nothing has been penalized. I have been doing this for 3 years, and my site is almost always the #1 or #2 site on over 100 searches on relevant keywords. <br /><br />I don't believe what you say is accurate.
