Resultoffer.com is a search engine that is part of a well-known online deceptive tactic. While this practice existed before, it was in the summer of 2011 when low-level search engines truly proliferated online. This deceptive strategy depends on creating low-level search engines, such as Resultoffer.com, and then forcing computer users to visit their website through the use of browser-hijackers and corrupted browser toolbars. In the end, the main point of Resultoffer.com is to force a stream of advertisements and spam results on the victims every time they carry out a search on Resultoffer.com's search feature. Resultoffer.com is part of a large batch of low-level search engines that have been released since November of 2011. This batch is characterized by sporting a green-tinged globe as their logo and by using a simple gray and white color scheme. It is clear that the main goal of the design of Resultoffer.com is to facilitate creating as many clones of this search engine as possible. In fact, PC security researchers have identified dozens of versions of the Resultoffer.com compromised website, only differing in each particular example's name.

Most revenue online, legitimate and illegitimate, is generated through the use of advertisements and related marketing content. While some websites advertise legitimate products, others (such as Resultoffer.com) are actually meant to advertise known online frauds such as rogue security software or illegal online pharmacies. The methods used by these kinds of unsafe websites also are different from legitimate advertisement strategies. Legitimate websites attract online traffic by creating content that people actually want to see. This may be a useful service or content that is genuinely interesting, funny or useful. However, the people behind the Resultoffer.com fake search engine do not bother with this. Instead, their strategy for attracting visitors is simply to force them to visit Resultoffer.com repeatedly. This is done by using a PC infection such as the Google Redirect Virus or through a corrupted browser helper application in the form of a search toolbar. These components are designed to hijack the victim's Internet browser and force it to visit Resultoffer.com repeatedly. These redirects to the Resultoffer.com website may occur after entering another address, by changing links on legitimate websites so that they will link to Resultoffer.com or by changing the victim's homepage to Resultoffer.com. Security experts always recommend the utilization of an anti-malware program to remove any threat forcing your computer to visit Resultoffer.com.
