Obviously google lists pages that are meta refreshed together with the url of the source page but with the snippet and title of the destination page. It looks like a bug or like a misinterpretation of the meta refresh tag. My brother's satire site has a backlink from another page.

- the url is looking like this: example.com/link.php?link=35
- no robots.txt file
- the url returns a site with a 0 seconds meta refresh to the destination url and a additional visible text link.

There were some discussions about "wrong" listings of 302 / 301 redirected urls but with meta refresh ...? My brother's page should be listed with his (the destination) url, no!?

Any cached page to look at?

Macguru, i forgot to mention: no cache available. (The source site is not cloaked and it returns a clear 200 status code.)
