Google Censors IE Users From Surfing Beyond Page 1 Results?
Andy Beal posted on his Marketing Pilgrim today that Google was forcing downloads of Google Desktop upon its Internet Explorer users today :
“This must be a glitch at Google. Search for anything with Google and it will not let you navigate beyond the first page of results. The only option is to download Google Desktop. Seems to only effect Internet Explorer.”
Seems that there was a programming flaw behind the mayhem; “Google has a transparent DIV tag that is interfering with the layer behind it. The problem doesn’t effect Mozilla. This screenshot shows the problem.
Maybe Google is more Mozilla Firefox friendly for their own good. Barry Schwartz at SE Roundtable adds “You would think they would test it out on IE before going live with the ad.”
