Google search in Firefox is an adsense search box

And apparently Mozilla made $72 million from it in 2005

Yup...somebody might as well make money from it.

 

Nice work if you can get it, I personally use this all the time.

 

I guess the proverbial cat is out of the knapsack...eh ehm...bag..

 

Holy crap, now that's a lot.

 

So if mozilla affiliated people within either of the corporations use the search box, they are clicking on their own ads? Are these associates barred from using the search box?

I mean seriously, if they aint, by the terms they judge you and me, that's fraud!

 

noppid, if you were making 72 million dollars per year, I think the terms might budge for you

I'm sure they are one of the biggest sources of revenue Adsense.

 

Well people have to click the "sponsored links" in the search results before any money is made. Plus, I'm sure this is made through some agreement between Mozilla and Google, and Google is blocking any mozilla.com IPs, etc.

 

Unfortunately firefox browser search can't be blocked. Probably any site you visit is submitted to one of search engines or firefox itself..

 

I wonder if they got one of those google kits for special adsense people at christmas?!

 

Just one?
I bet they got a whole truck full of goodies

 

Google owns Mozzila Firefox.
