Erku is correct. My analysis of Google's annual reports and especially their SEC filing for their IPO revealed that little of their traffic comes from other websites.

Indeed, one of my associates is fond of saying that the money G pays to publishers is more for advertising G than it is for bringing clicks to their advertisers.

Go into Yahoo search and look at the ads in any category which you are even slightly familiar with and compare the ads to what you find at Google. Unless it's a very, very competitive area, the ads are of lower quality. And, in the areas which I am most familiar, less in number.
