New IFrame advertising?

I was just contacted by someon at cyberphrases about the new IFrame advertising being offered.

Supposedly, you buy a key term for 6 months and you own it, so when people search for it an iframe opens in the browser with your website. They show an example if you search for Lexus on their search example, aparently Lexus has signed up.

Does anybody know about this? Is it supposed to become popular and a good investment?

Thanks,
Safari Guy

It sounds like the type of thing where the users would have to have a certain software installed - not legitimate SERPs. You'll have to do your homework & find out the number of people that actually have the software installed. Then you can take that number & throw it out the window because it's probably inflated quite a bit.

I think you can find better ways to advertise your site.

Can he skip the find the number part. But it's true that if he does not have the number, he can't throw it out the window.

Sounds like a spyware tactic. If you become associated with spyware, your domain will make it onto blacklists.

Be suspicious.
