Dramatic new evidence has been found today to support the theory that web pages can be ‘hijacked’ within the Google search engine; Google themselves seem to have become the latest victim.

Currently, any search for the term ‘adsense’ brings up www.all-in-one-business.com/adsense/ and not the https://www.google.com/adsense/
page. The listing description and title is for the official adsense page while the URL (web address) points to www.all-in-business.com.
