>whats the secret..

Pageoneresults gave the basic formula earlier. I spend thousands a month on PFI. If the pages all ranked nowhere or utterly randomly, why would I spend over $100K per year on it? Even more, why would my clients let me spend their money that way?

It works - that's why.

Oh, Inktomi is owned by Yahoo. Unlikely for them to go bust in the foreseeable future.

If you can't rank, sounds like you have triggered a penalty to me - and the benefits of INKs MakeMeBottom plan :)

Tigger - link popularity does play a part even in PFI. The best way to overcome the .com geo-filter on MSN UK is through getting decent links. Also INK will also penalise orphan pages with no incoming links on PFI, in my experience.
