: Redirecting you to our site.

Google's primary function in life is to redirect you places. When you 
visit a search engine, you know you are going to click and end up 
elsewhere.

If I visit http://www.mybank.com/[anything], I expect to go to my bank 
and no other site, regardless of how they redirect me (intentionally or 
otherwise).

People have actually harped on Google for the redirect system many times. 
Many folks did the same with tinyurl who made the 'preview' feature so 
you can see where you are being redirected to in order to avoid 'exploit' 
style URLs. That is the appropriate 'fix' to the issue I believe.
