Weird Google Quirk
I did a Google search for the acronym “FFA” today to figure out what it means other than Future Farmers of America, and I noticed something really weird about the results.
Take a look at page 3 of the results:
Notice the bottom-most entry on page 3 is Football Federation Australia. Fair enough. But when I kept clicking on, I noticed that Football Federation Australia was also the bottom-most result on page 4, and 5, and 6, and 7, and 10:
and 20:
and 29:
but not 30:
The bottom-most result on every page of results from page 3 to page 29 is Football Federation Australia.
What’s going on here? Is the bottom-most entry on each page actually a sponsored link? (It’s not labeled as one on the page at all, if so!) Is this some weird bug having to do with the SearchWiki feature? Or maybe it’s a plain ol’ bug that’s been around for ages.
