Hi guys/gals.

I was wondering if anynone could shed any light where Ask.co.uk is getting these results from, It does not appear to be from the Yahoo results, as my site does not appear within the top ten. Is its some kind of inktomi, yahoo, hybrid? i.e uk.ink.yahoo.com

[ask.co.uk...]

Just seems strange to me as the results are totally different using ask(yahoo results) and using the standalone Yahoo..

Hope this makes sense.. :)

Laters,
Matt.

The results you saw are from Yahoo UK's Web Pages (Google) back up results which would list after the normal Web Site results from Yahoo. The referal URL is a left over from the days when Inktomi supplied these results - Yahoo UK have not yet updated their URL - just to confuse everyone!
