Interesting angle EJ. I think all of that is about to dry up and blow away. The traffic you do get from them will be masked when they switch from get to post to cover the tracks of the referrals.
A colleague also reports "thousands of results" for her site, "many of them outdated, incidentally, since they were moved to archive areas years ago and never updated." You'd never see something like this as a result of Google's crawl.
Both sites above are nonprofit and content-rich -- exactly the sort of thing that Northern Light would seemingly find attractive.
Also, their patented "blue folder" technology produces rather bizarre results as often as not. It isn't nearly as good as something similar offered by [vivisimo.com...] -- a macro engine that uses a clustering frame on the left side of the screen with drop-down menus, similar to the Northern Light system.
I think Northern Light put all their energy into integrating specialized information systems, and has been neglecting the Web for a long time now. It's a chicken-and-egg argument as to why or when, but by now they have little choice other than to close down their Web operations.
