Today i got one mail with a link saying "Click on this website" the link location was like this http://google.com/search?q=vista&&btnI= then i thought this is a search command for the google. When i clicked on the link ir directly went to a site. I checked the link again, yes it is a google search url.

Then only i noticed that the last part "&btnI=" . This will redirect directly to the site, which is coming as the first in the google search results. That is same as you click on the  "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

 

Is this a new method of spammers? Any way this was a new information for me.
