Has anyone seen a backlink from a search result before? It was shown as a link on Yahoo. I guess it was cached, and then indexed by Yahoo and considered a back link. And the best part was, it's from a .edu ! You do a search on this site with your site's URL in the search string. I think the result was cached and and considered a link by Yahoo http://my.iiu.edu.my/php/googleapp/search.php?q=www.google.com Do let me know on what you guys think.
What I was trying to say is this: Some sites provide a search page like what's found on the link provided on the first post of this thread. You type your URL inside and it will show all your pages. Somehow, this result was cached inside the site's server as one of its pages. Then, Yahoo comes along and index this page and the links on this cached page is shown as backlinks to your site. I have seen Yahoo showing links from this page as one of the backlinks of a site that I was investigating.
Yeh, I've seen it lots of times but they disappear pretty fast after there found by the search engine so next time they come around it's not there anymore.
