I'm having the same problems with the search network partners - but thankfully I'm able to capture the url of those sending lowsy traffic. There are a couple on the search network that send me tons of traffic with absolutely no conversions. However after contacting google about the worst offenders they have told me that there is no way to seperate these from the search network - which is a real shame because there are some on the search network that send high quality traffic.

What I've been able to do is track and log the countries of those being sent to me by the worst offenders, and have found that over 90% come from a specific few countries that provide me 0 or close to 0 conversions. So by excluding these countries from my campaigns, I've been able to reduce the crappy traffic coming from these search partners by 90% while keeping the traffic from the higher quality search partners.

I hope that explanation made sense.
