Someone has a great sense of humor. I noticed a Google search for [mahalo] in my referrers, but couldn’t find it in the organic listings. Then I realized it was an Adwords ad! (Only one advertiser is bidding on the term.)
Mahalo
It’s seriously just About.com.
Only worse.

Nope, that wasn’t me bidding. I sure as hell don’t pay for clicks to my “just for fun” blog! Refreshing the search, I also saw:
Mahalo
That’s Hawaiian for 8 visitors a
month.

So who’s the funny man? 
My money’s on The Wolf.

Props to whomever performed this ratfuck!
Actually, I’m not thinking this is graywolf. He is way too much of a whore to pay for adwords traffic and not send some to himself. hehe.
not me, I’m thinking it’s Stuntdubl.
I’d be deeply offended by Rae’s comments if they weren’t 100% true
Just playing around testing some ad copy (and QS issues) that was created via comments people had made about the new “search engine”. All of the following had over 1,500 impressions - here are the winners in terms of ctr:

Oops
We haven’t hand-written a result
page for Mahalo yet.

They were all set to rotate equally. Bidding on Mahalo broad matched with no negatives. keyword QS started at poor and improved to ok with a min bid of .15 required.
Now that it’s been noticed it’s been paused:-)
Thanks for confessing
That’s some fine work there. Thanks for the chuckle.
