Just point a link towards their results, and Google will give a nice and juicy backlink.

That qid=305E2EE5EECD5E479F8AFC504719278F parameter doesn’t look too good. I don’t think this like has lot’s of value, so why bother “spamming” results?

Oh, you just spoiled the fun Matt.

Ha ha, that’s so cool! But this is an old spam technique, related to something like: http://www.free-seo-news.com/newsletter179.htm#facts. I don’t think such backlinks worth any penny.

Heard Ask ad on the radio the other day. It was so desparate, like a drowning man cry for help. Ask lost it years ago. Sad………..
