Redirect Notice
The previous page is sending you to domain .

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.

Thats the note you sometimes see when you click a image on google image,but a lot of times that site dont redirect anything, also a lot of new images are hit by this, which also dont have any redirect.

More and more sites do redirect, but thats be cause google dont show the original page anymore, they just scrape the images, but how is this notice a better user experience, especially when it often hit new images, which dont redirect at all and never did.

I only saw this notice one time - weeks ago - and I didn't take any detailed notice of how or why it was triggered. I do remember feeling disoriented by it. Do you think it might be because image search is much slower to update than regular web search?

Image search is anti-user and anti-webmaster that has been designed to find all ways to avoid being caught up for copyright violation. It is such a cheap google scraper product.
