Wrong. Google uses the link-out of other sites to rank the linked site.

So if I have a site that review sites about x, google will use my links to rank the sites about x. It will benefit google, sites about x, advertisers for x, users searching for x. But NEVER me.

now, replace "me" for "google" and "google"for "bing". And you will see how you and google are being hypocrite

You may not benefit from the indexing of your link, but you certainly benefit from the indexing of other people's links. Unless, of course, you don't use search on the internet.

By your argument. Google benefits from the doing of Bing, unless of course they don't search on the internet. (the internet meaning Bing, as oposed to your comment, where the internet was meaning Google)
