Hello,

I understand the difference between what ASK is doing and a more direct incentive to click. But its still clear they are offering two incentives 1) they are only paying if the page is an advertisement generated page, which engouages people to search for things they may not otherwise have been intending to search for and 2)the amount is clearly variable (ie minimum 3 cents) and ASK says:

"ASK JEEVES will donate all its profits from searches conducted"

Its clear that the way to increase the 3 cents is to click on ads.

Regards,
