overture results

Would the overture results that show up on their suggestion tool be more likely be unique visitors or same person doing the same lookup more than once)?

Overture results can be rigged, though I think that would probably be done using bots & open proxies.

I understand they can be rigged but let's say the way it currently works, Is the system mainly showing uniques or not? How about the following example as the system works now with the rigged results and other factors that normally associated with the results.

For example:

4368 free cell phone directory

What percentage of the 4368 search results would probably be uniques?

I think noone knows it for sure.
Maybe someone from overture can explain it, but I think they will not too it.
