Google cached another Domain

Hi,

I am in a very uneasy situation.

When I check the Google cache of my domain, it returns / displays the cache snapshot of another website.

I lost My Keyword ranking also.

Why is this happening?

This is my domain
www. allhoteldeals.net

Google cached Page: http://72.14.235.104/search?sourceid...eldeals.net%2F

Please help .... how to solve??

Re: Google cached another Domain

This could have been a result of domain hijacking I think. There should have been some kind of 302 redirect from the another website, As some black hat's do this to win competition. Is there a way to take care of these? Yes

Just make a note of this problem here.. as soon as you see this happening

Re: Google cached another Domain

Again are there any genuine reasons for such situations?

Re: Google cached another Domain

A 302 hijack is hard to pull off, you need the right set of conditions and no cleaning by yourself.

I also don't think it is as it wouldn't have just fixed itself it would still be displaying the other URL even now.

It was probably just a mix up with retrieving the results to be honest.

Also if it was a 302 when he typed his URL in he 2 would be redirected to the other site along with every 1 who views that page not just the SE's that's what makes then easy to notice.

Unless it was a very clever hacker who noticed their was no cleaning and did a cloak just for the 302. The chances of some one pulling that off though is around a billion to 1.

To be honest I would put it down to a natural mistake if it was just a one off.

Does this happen regularly and how long did it last the last time?
