Looksmart running amok?

500+ hits per day for totally irrelevant keywords

On of my Looksmart listings which has been activated but has only been receiving the 'free' monthly clicks has suddenly started receiving 500-700 clicks per day from Looksmart listings or partner sites.. and this is from my stats, not theirs.. yet their stats say my account is interupted and still only receiving the limited # of free clicks that is allocated. I have not been billed for any of this trasffic, at least not yet..

This is an SEO listing, so obviously the words search engine appear in the description, but every single click I have received over the past 5 days.. over 2800 clicks from Looksmart and partner sites, has been for search terms google.com, google, yahoo.com, yahoo, etc..

needless to say these words do not appear in my description, title or suggested keywords for this listing.

I guess any site that now has the word search engine in its description is now relevant for such search terms. Their algo has gone from bad to worse to useless..

Has anyone else seen anything like this the past several days?
