Did you dispute it through one of Experian's credit report access services (freecreditreport.com and the like), or through the Equifax online dispute tool directly?
URL's are just a way of tracking where a request came from if you can't / decide not to do it other ways.

Good catch, possibly dumb mistake on their website. The base URL redirects to the Experian referal and that is the one which comes up on a Google search for "Equifax dispute"; however, if I go in through the Equifax Credit Report Assistance route:
http://www.equifax.com/CreditReportAssistance/
It comes up with the expected URL. Shoddy integration but this is Equifax Consumer we're talking about.
