    I was doing some research when accidentally found a site with no content other than a google search box and I'm wondering if this is allowed.

    the domain is www . 01-800 . net <= spaced to avoid generate traffic if that is what they need for this trick


    at first glance I thought it was a new dowmain adding a free search facility but nope.

    It was registered back on december 2005 and it has a publisher id:
    pub-1329400533882425

    Ironically they are offering also "search this site", what can we search if the domain has nothing?

    I would report it to Google but I ignore how, and if that is a valid tactic but it smells like TOS break

    what do you think about?

    actually the TOS stated that no ads may be placed on the non-content page, but none of them stated that search box concern as an ads.

    just MOP

    Ah, then maybe is valid, since there is no contextual ads, only the search box :rolleyes:
