Searching from within Europe, one of the worst perpetrators for this is kelkoo, which offers price comparisons for an item, between different sites (and it usually does have prices which are amongst the cheapest, so can be useful). However Kelkoo will regularly appear in the first ten listings, often several times- then as you say, have no actual links to the product you are looking for, therefore in this case you cant buy it from a partner anyway!! A total waste of everyones time.
My reaction on reading this- looking at the language, grammatical errors and date anomaly- was that it has been written by someone else. It seems a bit too irrational, and ill prepared. Doesnt fit somehow! Am I completely wrong?

The biggest problem for me is lack of coverage. I downloaded iTunes and discivered that it is yet another service that seems to be USA only. Oh joy.
