Google used to create credible spam links?
 Researchers at Trend Micro security have found a trend in spam messages that use google's "I'm feeling lucky" button feature.
The spam will contain links that try to look harmless by starting off with http://www.google.com/search?, this is followed by the keywords that will produce the spammers required result from google's "I'm feeling lucky" button.
These links can seem credible, as Trend Micro say "after all, who doesn’t trust Google?", people may be led to believe that these links are harmless. However, instead of returning a list of google search results, the link will directly open the site that google ranks as number one for the keywords at the end of the link.
