    Hello,

    I was checking out search engine referrals today, and came across this:
    [nourl]http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=domain+paid+by+debit+cards&btnG=Google+Search&meta=[/nourl]

    All the results were listed with urls similar to this:
    [nourl]http://www.google.ca/url?sa=U&start=5&q=http://www.netmidwest.com/web-hosting-paypal.html&e=10342[/nourl]

    I did a few other searches, trying to figure it out, especially the e=### part. start=5 is the position. All the urls had the same e=### number.

    I shut off cookies completely, and got different results entirely. Real urls. Obviously, the e=### is a userid for me.

    What is up? Can anyone repeat this?
