Google Occassionally Mis-Directs Established Wesites to the Wrong URL

Google Occassionally Mis-Directs Established Wesites to the Wrong URL - BEWARE!
Possibly because of the keyword compression algorithms used by Google,
Established Websites can now have their correct TITLE, DESCRIPTION and CACHE - but have the wrong URL as a link which will direct the surfer to a different WebSite.

Sometimes this can occur for some of the Keywords that the sites comes up on Google for - or ALL of the Keywords...

This will sometimes take months to alleviate - but can re-occur.

A complaint to Google will often get you a response that YOUR SERVER is erroneously causing the misinformation - not Google!!!

If this has happened to you or anyone you know - please offer feedback?

Sounds like a major problem. Have you got any examples of this happening that we can see? What about the cache? Does that still point to the right URL if this happens?

i think it's the issue of redirection on the web host, not google.
