:8088 showing up on end of URL in natural Google search results

[costumebox]

Hello All,

Wondering if anyone has seen this before and might know what it is and how to get rid of it.

As you can see on the attached image, when we search one of our popular keywords on google.com.au (doesn't happen on google.com btw) it has the following added on to the URL :8088

The link works fine, but it looks like an error message to anyone searching for us. The text for the listing comes from the home page meta info in the back-end of our site (Magento) but there isn't anything that looks out of place?

Any ideas appreciated! Brian@CostumeBox.com.au

Your host has your server configured wrong. I have no clue how google found out that the port was open, but it should not be taking requests, and especially serving html pages from that port. I would contact the host and have them close the port. If they won't you can use a htaccess to rewrite the port to your main domain.

On another note, are you on a mac server? That is the apple update port.

Thanks Lesley, yes we do have a mac server set up. Will get our host to fix asap. Appreciate the quick response and info! Regards.
