Backlinks to search engines

I see from time to time that some webmasters place links to the main search engines on their site.
They won't rank higher because of this, plus they'll loose traffic.
So what's the benefit from doing so.

can give me a sample website? i can better understand

from my little observation, i doubt that linking to high PR site (related topic) will help in PR & google ads content. THe linked to site 'title' play a important role in pagerank as well. if your site is about 'windows web hosting', you would link to high pr site with title 'windows web hosting...', instead of 'get 1 domain free 10 domain' title. read somewhere before, it does give an effect.

for google, place the SEARCH box, will earn u some money when people click the ads on the search result returned.

this may be used for as a black hat trick.

when pointing to another site
e.g.

http:// high-pr-domain.com/story_preview.php?text=MIME_ENCODED&url=http://domain.com

this like would show a preview page and everything ready for submission BUT this trick tries to cheat search engines that http:// high-pr-domain.com is giving you a backlink.

Note:
if you have such page that shows preview
put rel="nofollow" to all links submitted by the user.

Some people believe that linking to authority aites, and high PR sites in general, gives them an extra boost.

I think it may be based on the ancient practice of some search engines of giving a boost to sites which linked to them. (Like AltaVista used to.)
