Google Haz Epic Fail

It’s rare, but from time to time I will see a search result that, well, sucks.

I know, Google is not perfect, nor will they ever be perfect, but com’n, seriously, this is just out of hand.

Google Search Results

Let’s take a look at that query. Searching for “view source chart” and these are the results I get? Great, I indeed did find what I was looking for, but what is this random result?

Nothing even mentioning view, source, or chart within the title, description, or URI of the result. I clicked through to find out why it was listed. Searched in the source of the page “view”, “source”, or “chart”, and nothing really came up that should trigger it as a result.

In fact, the page was a secured page (https), but according to Alexa, the site does get some decent traffic. But still, I’m very confused to why it showed up in the search results.

What do you think?
