About.com and Inktomi?

[Key_Master]

I found this entry in my log files:
[clk.about.com...]

When I remove the domain it redirects to inktomi.com
(e.g. [clk.about.com...] )

Is this something new and what is it used for?

I think you have us stumped.

Do you have a listing in about.com at all?

I've found the source of the referrer.:

[search.about.com...]

[skiguide]

i think all that means is that someone found your site through search on About.com - we use Inktomi for secondary (or third level? maybe fourth, who knows...) results. I think that's all it can be.

Searches on About.com use:

1) Guide content first
2) Sprinks
3) partner search results/related links
