Interesting...but not sure you can do this

    I was perusing (as i do) and I noticed this page. The domain intrigued me the post, so I clicked. Drilled down to the California page. Each entry has their own "more info" button, which is actually like clicking the Google WebSearch box button.

    Here's the example - http://www.aspirins.net/Directory/California

    Not sure if this is within Adsenses TOS, but thought it was interesting none-the-less. Anyone else doing this?

    Don't think so, but at least they aren't showing any sponsored listings on the results page

    That is definitely a hacked version of AdSense for Search - the ones I clicked did have ads. And it is definitely against the terms to do that. Similar idea to prefilling the search box, which is also against the terms.

    Against the TOS, and probably why they aren't showing ads on the results. I had my AdSense for Search results set to not show ads for awhile because an arguable TOS issue (ads were later re-enabled).
