Peter, this is a good point. I have noticed other sites like this. By using the results of YAHOO, INFOSEEK and other engines to create a compilation of hits, the ads of sites like YAHOO get bypassed. I just don't know how people can think these ads at these sites are effective. I think are large number of clicks on such ads are accidental. I have accidentally clicked into ads more times than on purpose. This has happened to me when response time is slow and I am trying to change to another location. Anyway, is there any legal reason for sites like DOGPILE not to continue gleaming accumulated results from various search engines and thus bypassing those sites' ads?
