Bing is admitting their results are affected by click fraud then??
2 comments

Not quite - they are admitting that click fraud on google.com affects their results!
And those of us with our own DNS servers know exactly where google.com is.

I wonder how smart the Bing Toolbar really is.

You probably don't need a DNS server. /etc/hosts should be plenty. Maybe they're smarter than that, and I think they are if you try to mask Microsoft's own domains, but I doubt they check to see if Google.com has been changed, though that could certainly change.
Yes, but only on hapax legomena :)
