Hello all! I noticed you are discussing Direct Hit which happens to be my focus for the day. I was wondering if anyone out there knows why there are 3 sites listed at the top of DH's results that are being specifically called "Partner Results."

Are these sites that are found in other SE's ie Lycos, etc; hence they are given more relevancy just for that link and not click throughs? If that is the case I don't get it. We have a gagillion (ok that's an exageration but you get the point) links on Lycos that were "thrown" out there by a previous promotion company. Wouldn't this affect us on DH? Or are these combo's of:

# of links + click throughs = A spot as partner results.

Let me know. I could be WAY off base here, and they just might be paid listings. Looking forward to hearing from someone. Have a good one!

Ali

P.S. Off the subject stupid question: how the heck do you guys get those smiley faces on here? Love them!
