Search listing click through to wrong domain?

[pethealthinc]

Hi there,

I've got an interesting case that I've not seen before and can't find anything about online.  Some of our SERP listings are not getting through to the correct website.  Instead they go to a domain called "watchingsquare.com" (doesn't resolve), which is not affiliated with our business or  the website the listings are actually for.  This only seems to happen 50% of the time.  For example, if I click on the listings once I'm taken to watchingsquare.com, go back and attempt again and I am sent to the correct website.

Has anyone encountered similar issues and know how to resolve?

So strange. How old is the domain and for how long has this been happening for?

I just had a google and came across this http://www.brighthub.com/internet/google/articles/66090.aspx . I also noticed that this domain is not active.

Thanks for the article Stefano.  I had looked into this previously, but we do seem to be getting the same result on various different machines (just tried it on a brand new machine, same result) - and only in relation to the one domain.  Doesn't seem to be a virus issue.

How much traffic do you get to the site?

Would re-submitting the site to the search engine be an option?

We were able to resolve this issue.  our .htaccess file was hacked and had a redirect set up for referrals from google.
