www.google.com./

Notice, that is DOT com DOT slash.

This visitor came to me overnight. Since the URL eventually takes you to the standard Google, it seemed legit. When I saw he/she was from Bucharest....

I know I have not been awake very long this morning, but I can say I've NOT seen this DOTcomDOTSlash before.

Is this a case of redirecting mis-typed urls? If you paste the link you'll see the DOT Slash goes away if you click thru.

lol, that doesn't happen in Netscape though - When I go to [google.com....] , the URL remains the same in the Adress Bar, displaying [google.com...] .

I'm looking at the DOTcomDOTslash site in NS7.1 right now and when I hover over all the links, ONLY one does NOT have the DOTcomDOTslash. Even at that, it shows www.google.com/ncr where ncr disappears once you've reached Google.com .

ahhh, ok. sorry, misread your post..

It does seem a little strange though, never heard of dotcomdotslash domain syntaxes before.

Each part of a domain name is correctly terminated with the <dot> and, although you don't often see it used within the context of a browser, it is not incorrect to do so.

the .com./ site is different to the standard .com - note the English under the Google logo which doesn't appear on .com/

[nakulgoyal]

Yes, appears to be different. How is this setup?
