Just looked at some results in WWWX Google .

Not sure if this has been posted yet but I'm seeing some MSN shopping pages take up 3 out of the top ten results on some terms. For example, in some results, I'm seeing different sub-domains redirect to the same shopping page in MSN.

Like:

eshop.msn.ca/category.aspx?catId=###
shopping.msn.ca/category.aspx?catId=###
g.msn.com/CA2/##_####_##

So what's going on? MSN is spamming Google now or is it some kind of FLAW? ;)

No PR yet on the pages yet so I guess this is the first time they're indexed.

BTW, what is g.msn.com? "g" stands for Google? Some kind of trusted feed going on here?
