That has been the question of the ages. I'd love to know if there is a way that I may have missed.
Many search referrals that I see look good, ISP home pages, legit search portals, but I've also seen 'search partners' that are --- well, no content except a Google search box! I can't accept that humans visit these pages for any legit reason.
Now, some time back I put Google search boxes at the bottom of some of my sites. I thought it might please the Google G-ds and give my sites extra credibility. However, they've never generated enough revenue to make them worthwhile. In fact, they come off as I have reason to update the pages.
I am assuming that I only earn from a search through them if the searcher clicks an Adwords ad, If that is accurate, that may explain why the box gets a reasonable amount of use, but scant $$$ on my legitimate sites.
If the above assumption is true, that should tell you that some former MFA types are abusing that box.
Surely it is not a technical impossibility to implement a feature that would allow me to 'pick my partners' or similar.
I'm sure many would love to hear an answer on this. It's a tough choice to sacrifice the AOL's and cable/DSL home pages that many of my customers see when they launch their browsers just to avoid these gamers.
I already had to dump Search for my higher dollar campaigns and I saw income shoot up. Similar to the way I dumped Content completely early on after seeing my logs.

interesting features. even i wish to see new BETA UI in adwords. as it is very difficult to work with specially srolling the screen. nice post
great. even i went through the same problem. tried to get feedback and solution too but no use, yahoo is still the same very slow. i would suggest you to be with Google Adwords rather than Yahoo search marketing.
