Hello,

A quick evaluation shows this may even be worse abuse of advertisers than at first blush. When a user searches on redcross.ask.com the results page comes up in the standard web.ask.com domain. Subsequent searches would not be in the redcross.ask.com, unless the user back spaces to the previous page. Wow. People who go on indiscriminately click thinking they are taking money from advertisers to donate to the red cross may actually be only helping Ask.com WOW.

Also what happens to the revenues above $1 MM, generated from clickers who are clicking for no reason other than to help the Red Cross. It also appears that Ask.com gets to keep this money as well.

This whole concept appears to be a violation of the no incentivized click rules Google advertises.

Regards
