    They've got a bot running that searches through an advertising database for links that then will direct a viewer to the website of the advertisers choosing while giving credit for the redirect to Stangnet. Basically it is a way to pay for the server and service.

    There are other key words that will do it too...lets try a few.

    Digital Camera
    DVD Player
    Engine
    Brakes
