Hello Gurus !!

I am new to Internet business and bit qurious about the following. Kindly explain ..

Many a times I see some fake search engines drive traffic to their website using most popular & cheap keywords. My question is :
1. What is the Idea behing this business?
2. How do they operate? Do they make money by just showing ads ( top & bottom of search result ) ?
3. Most of the ads displayed are either from bing or google. How they get ad placements form google and bing
4. Why doesn't google ban them as they are dong Arbitrage kinda buiness.

examples are

results.searchlock.com
zapmeta.com
zito.co.in
