Page hijacking is a form of
spamdexing (spamming
the index of a
search engine). It is the act of copying a random but popular webpage
with the intent to feed a web crawlers the copied page. The intent is
that the copied page appears in search engine results, and when the
users click on it, the visitors are redirected to a different, often unrelated, website.
Page hijacking is a form of
cloaking, and it is possible
because web crawlers detect duplicates as they download web pages, and if two
pages have the same content, they keep only one of the URLs.
