Sometimes Google returns some strange results. As of today, a simple search for the keyword ‘readyboost hack’ returns this website as the top result (For this post). But unfortunately, instead of providing a link to the article, it returns a link to the RSS feed for the post. When you click on the result, you are shown the xml file which would look like garbage for most people. No wonder the bounce rate for this particular post is almost 100%. Why would Google show the xml file on a search result is beyond me, especially when the file ends with a proper .xml extension and the url has an RSS in it? I have seen this happening to many sites, not just mine. Can Google do something to quickly fix this bug?
