Richard Ball did a great job of painting a picture of one direct navigation provider trying to add in a little fat to the organic traffic. And naturally because the industry is gaining scale, the incentive to pad higher quality traffic with lower quality traffic becomes more attractive. The sausagifying of search if you will.

From my understanding Marchex relies heavily on Yahoo's ad network rather than Google, but your point is well heard. In fact, Marchex are starting their own ad network in the case that the scenario you suggest plays out. Hey Richard, thanks for your comment.

In fact, Marchex are starting their own ad network in the case that the scenario you suggest plays out.

Did you notice the anonymous comment on my post that came from someone with a Marchex IP address? I wonder how much money firms like Marchex and Oversee would lose if Google dropped parked domains from their Search network. I don't think most AdWords advertisers are aware of how much gristle is in the sausage. Still, I think Google's to blame here. I have no problem with Google ads being displayed on parked domains. It should just be separated from the search engine advertising. Hi Niki. Did you notice the anonymous comment on my post that came from someone with a Marchex IP address?
