Sponsored Links in Meta Search Engines

Meta search engines like dogpile list the sponsored links between the results (it is claimed as paid-for links). In fact they search within Ads by Google or Ads by Yahoo.

I want to know how they do this. In other other words I'm curious to know the technical issues about the script.

HI,

These all visit multiple search engines, combine the results, and derive a consensus of opinion. In theory they should be better than any single search engine, albeit a little slower. Even so, they don't get used very much, which is a shame.
