Thanks Erica. I appreciate your thought on this.
But I think, my question is still unanswered. Because answer box should come up with such content that contains answer to the users question or information that can help user to get answer out of it. But here, it is showing up a product page which does not even answer the users query although it is promoting someone's product in answer box...:-)
Can we consider this as technical bug?
Thanks for the quick response Patrick,
But I am already aware of things that can help Google to understand and bring up your content in Answer Box. I would rather like to know, How service page can appear there?
Or Google is not yet able to differentiate between product page content and informative blog content...
One more thing, Its not my content in answer box.... 
Hello Everyone,
Have recently seen a Google result for "vps hosting" showing service page details in Answer Box.
I would really like to know, what can cause a service page to appear in the Answer Box? Have attached a screenshot of result page.
Dear Mozers,
First of all let me wish you all a Very Happy, Prosperous, Healthy, Joyous & Successful New Year !
I'm trying to analyze one of the website's Web Hosting UK Com Ltd. and during this process I've had this question running through my mind. This project has been live since the year 2003 and since then there have be changes made to the website (obviously). There have also been new pages been added, the same way some new pages have even been over-written with changes in the url structures too.
Now, coming back to the question, if I've have a particular url structure in the past when the site was debuted and until date the structure has been changes thrice (for example) with a 301 redirect to every back dated structure, WOULD it impact the sites performance SEOwise ? And let's say that there's hundreds of such redirections under the same domain, don't you think that after a period of time we should remove the past pages/urls from the server ? That'd certainly increase the 404 (page not found) errors, but that can be taken care of.
How sensible would it be to keep redirecting the bots from one url to the other when they only visit a site for a short stipulated time?
To make it simple let me explain it with a real life scenario. Say if I was staying a place A then switched to a different location in another county say B and then to C and so on, and finally got settled at a place G. When I move from one place to another, I place a note of the next destination I'm moving to so that any courier/mail etc. can be delivered to my current whereabouts. In such a case there's a less chance that the courier would travel all the destinations to deliver the package. Similarly, when a bot visits a domain and it finds multiple redirects, don't you think that it'd loose the efficiency in crawling the site?
Ofcourse, imo. the redirects are important, BUT it should be there (in htaccess) for only a period of say 3-6 months. Once the search engine bots know about the latest pages, the past pages/redirects should be removed.
What are your opinions about this ?
