When you search Google and copy a link from results page, thats what you get. Links are going through google.com and redirected to the site.

This way you can skip the FT paywall, since it looks like you're coming from search or google news.
It exploits the daily allowance of free articles shown to users coming from the search engine.

It's a clever trick. Unfortunately, it breaks the referential integrity of the post. I don't think we can allow it as the submission url, for the same reason we don't allow link shorteners. People who are already posting links to Google searches in comments, though, might want to post these instead.
For those reading this later, the submitted url was http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...
