Why MSN-Live SE use fake referer?

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 05/27/2009 - 14:00

In last months I see many referrers from msn/live.com from urls with top keywords like music, image, video, chat, forum etc.

http:// search.live.com/results.aspx?q=car

But when I visit that serp page I see just results from major sites on the web. I dont either expect that my small site appears on first page but just wondering why msnbot use such a trick. Whatever i didnt like it!
