/images/home image.swf

An odd new indexed page

[JoeSinkwitz]

This could potentially go into the datacenter watch or data refresh threads, but is fairly unique, so hopefully it warrants discussion on its own...

This past week, as the "" filters were tidying themselves up, I noticed something odd happening on a few of the domains I manage that weren't previously getting hit with any filters. All of the sudden a new supplemental cached page was showing up on the site: command
domain.com/images/home_image.swf (July 20)

Just to get the obvious stuff out of the way, the IIS server is handling 404s correctly and we never use Flash/Shockwave.

I say that this is unique because I noticed it occur on two different domains, both of which no longer rank in the 30s-50s (past 1000 now).

Has anyone else encountered this strange URL string in their queries? I registered a G account and tried the removal tool, so I'll update if I learn anything more about the effect of its removal.
