I've noticed several times a number of 'search sites' (at least that's
the best I can describe them) that show up in a few google searches.
Say I search for some obscure phrase, the top few will be sites that
look relevant, but they simply re-list your search with a bunch of ads
and a bunch of links to possibly relevant sites (I never go further, so
I don't know how relevant they are)

I'm really not certian how they mess with Google like that.  I suspect
when they are spidered they bombard google with lots of terms, and then
when google forwards a search they get the referrer URL which has the
search terms in it, and they show a different page.

Since they don't show up all that often, I suspect they are not very
succesful, but I'll bet it's something Google is trying to combat.
