I bet you don't pay for your adverts and therefore get your hard worked for bucks wasted by nutters like this who take results for thier own and then create wasted impressions. Why do you think Adsense is getting so stingy, people like this are creating false impressions thus minimizing the piece of the pie people like us would get on a genuine impression. Don't praise him, kick his f**** head in!
In my opinion, they certainly hurt legitimate sites, but it is not obvious they hurt advertisers. People who are stupid enough to use such "search engines" are probably stupid enough to buy anything. Jean-Luc
Years ago, a distinction between sponsored listings, and natural ones, wasn't so clear too. So this SE isn't doing anything that wasn't done by the big ones in the past...
this is a brilliant idea because someone can work to put it on his website like a " X company search engine", and then use your keywords to show up first when people search for something. thats a nice trick this guy has gave me...
