Robber you are right - didn't see the heavy weights, but some minor engines, even meta engines, serps. Strange. Tend to believe though it#s not necessarily submitted serps but comes from Fast's webcrawler army gone wild lately.

Heini, by "webcrawler army" are referring to a human army or Fast's spider. I can only imagine it would be human - it would be a bit of a worry if their spider is now clever enough to do keyword searches! It would make sense because the submitted SERPs appear to be in clusters relevant to a theme, the reviewer could have been searching on this theme with variations of similar keywords and adding the SERPs. Seems like a very strange strategy.

I have a SERP as a backlink from MSN, it has been there for 2 months now and shows up in AOL, Hotbot and a few others. Very strange, 1 month I could understand but 2 months ? Dazz

They typically come from someone either hard coding a search into a link, or using SSI to load a serp into a page. I too have seen a fair amount of this in Fast, but I don't recall seeing any from Google. Most major engines exclude their search directory from crawlers. And even if you ignore Google's robot.txt and try to crawl their SERPS, you get back blank pages. (at least that's what I've heard. I'd never consider trying such a thing myself).:)

I think they are back spidering referrals.

You might be right about Google, just took another look and couldnt see any from Google, however, there is definitely Yahoogle in there.

Could someone send me a keyword in stickymail to a search where this is happening?
