Jim,

I did a google search on 'soda machines' to get to the main soda-machines.com site today, and when I click on the google results (3rd down), I get redirected to a spam site.

Anyone else that can test this out and verify that it's happening?  I used Firefox and Chrome from two different computers with the same results.

Confirmed from my home PC.   My AV blocked the site.

Still happening here (not broswer specific) - note it is only when you do a Google Search for "Soda Machines" and click the link that is SUPPOSED to redirect you to the SMC website on the search results page. 

Typing the site URL directly into your browser, using a "favorite" or using your browser history is not affected.

Interesting,  I tried searching for soda-machines.com on both Google & Bing, the search results show correctly until you try to click on them, then on Google, you get redirected to some crap pharmacy sites, & then on bing you get shuffled over to some dill-weed cigar site.

This is on my laptop running Firefox 16.0.2  my Ghostery blocks the redirect, but when I over ride it, I go to la-la land.

Redirect repeatable here as well. Looks like Google search results have had a redirect inserted.
Hope they get it fixed.

It's not just Google, I was playing around and clicked on SMC link on Yahoo and Bing and was directed to a gambling site. I wasn't having problems before because it's in my favorites.

Well it's obviously a corrupted search on Google, which dilutes their value as a search engine
(big surprise they can't control their Data links, not) guess I won't tell people to "just Google us" when speaking to people about SMC... at first I thought perhaps a redirect bug had sneaked in between my AV updates, but, nope the redirect originates at Google's link, so someone has hacked the link & if I were google, I'd go after the target site(s) ... or for you conspiracy fans out there, it's a "sponsored" link payed for & redirected by the target at the expense of the true site.

so I'd use the ol' www.soda-machines.com web address

This was brought to my attention while I was on the road.
Hopefully, this is corrected now even though I did attempt to use one of the search links and still was redirected incorrectly...
I'm still digging to see how this occurred...

Jim,
Have you created a web site owner account with Google? That was first of many hoops had to jump through to get any response from Google. Different redirect from any have had on our web page. Hope you can find the cause. Let me know if anything needs testing.
