I've always wondered. How do these guys hit google search so much without hitting limitations? Google is pretty aggressive at banning bots, and I can't imagine Google have given a competitor API access or something like that. Proxies is out of the question for this scale too.

I'm fairly certain that they do not proxy searches to Google. I heave heard that they do use Bing and Yahoo search APIs, but this could be incorrect.
