They're providing a service, and they have to make some money! I think in the long run it will help to cut down on spamming and irrelevant searches, and make the whole search engine world better. At least they're not charging the user to search! With that in mind, today we look at the pay-per-click search engines. If you're not familiar with them, here's a general explanation of them, as well as a great list of all the various search engines: payperclicksearchengines.com How to Make the Most Out of Goto.com, by Ken Evoy Here's what I love about pay-per-click: testing.
