related links search

Hello
Has anyone looked into what the related search feature does??
I did a related:www.site search today and noticed that out of about 29 results 6-9 of them where way off?

i run an auto web site and some of the related sites returned where results for, 2.5¢ Discount Long Distance, Exchange POP3 Connectivity, Coupons Online, and Business Opportunities...

none of which are related sites...

could this be from expired links on my site that now point to these sites?

Are you exchanging with tons of sites not neccessarily related to auto things (especially in these topic areas)? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Similar/related results are like a core sample of a sites' linkage and can be extremely useful in determining the overall "quality" of a sites' linkage, IMO. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
