typing website address opens the correct website but google link takes me to different website
Hello,
a friend has a website http://fondazioneroberthollman.it that works fine when typing the address in the address bar.
However if the link is opened through a search engine, it opens up a website that sells bags.
It isn't a virus on the client side since I've tried it on different computers on different network, it seems more of a dns problem, or some website hack maybe (it's a very old website).
For example on google it shows the correct name but the description is the one of the bags website
![google.PNG]()
and on bing the name is the one of the bags website
![bing.PNG]()
by accessing the page by typing the address and viewing the page source I cannot find any redirect, so I'm not sure if it's a dns problem of the provider or some kind of hack I'm not aware of

I'm also not ruling out that the web host has port 80 bindings correct. You may also want to contact your web host.
Correction: Closer examination shows that neither host is related by any means. This is Google's fault.

thanks for the research. the website is hosted by a company and doing a search on the company domain like you suggested it seems it's their webserver that has been compromised
https://www.google.it/search?client=opera&q=advertendo&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#q=www.advertendo.com%2F+nike
this shows advertising websites on their domain as well. Does this mean their webserver got hacked?

The host is definitely compromised to where it's effecting your product. I'd walk and try a different host. Does he have a backup of the website before this happened? I'd consider using that or at least comparing the original source (espeically scripts) to the code that exists. With encryption and randomization, the only person who could probably tell you how and what got compromised is the person who compromised it. It may be time, too, that he updates the website technology to a more efficient, search engine friendly, mobile supported platform.

Let google know!!! PS. I tested and you're absolutely correct. 100e is redirecting. Your url link is:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fondazioneroberthollman.it%2F&ei=v7gaVeeBHMfDggSisIHwCA&usg=AFQjCNHdhUoBGFA8Me2bd2tqcIEIOwECiQ&sig2=TD5dCQMArZkSrT_p6H3xEw
Google made a boo boo.
