Once 1 is substituted into a x + b for b, you're simply fitting the function a*x+1 to the data points. Any "extra" parameters which don't appear in the expression-to-fit (such "b", "yo", and "73skidoo" in ax + 1) appear in the output as "b->0.".
You should probably let Mathematica treat b as one of the free parameters (remove the substitution b-> 1) and it'll give you what you want.
