I have a visitor who has been referred to a site by http://www.google.net

Is this a fake referral string or is this actually a legitimate Google
address?

I cannot actually find this page on the internet. I can find pages
hosted within that domain by I can't actually reach the root page of
that domain and that's what the referrer string is telling me where
the visit came from.

My limited knowledge of networking keeps me from understanding if
others might have access to this page while I wouldn't.

I also suspect it could just simply be a fake referral string.

Thanks for any insights or confirmations.

Works from here - http://www.google.net gives a 302 redirect to .com
and that comes up as .co.uk - normal behaviour.

It looks like it redirects differently depending on one's preferences
if logged in to one's Google account or, GeoLocation if not logged in.

Maybe it is you MrGamma that Google can't find.  :-()

Seriously though, it is a valid domain registration so that should
solve some of your concerns.

Why it doesn't redirect for you though is a bit of a puzzle.
