Because the modification of the a href element in the DOM happened too late: Google already crawled the link and queued the URL before it executed

Well, google is currently indexing the same page 4 times, I have (with the help of users from stackoverflow) a mod_rewrite on my htaccess to rewrite all urls to hyphens coming from a specific file (article.php).
