Does that mean MSN displays sponsored sites and they are not willing to pay percentages to those who would put their search box on site?
What about Yahoo? Do MSN and Yahoo! plan to offer "Adsense for search" to webmasters or not?
Yahoo has YPN, and I might be wrong, but I thought that it has a search option. Maybe I'm getting it confused with Y!Q or something.
MSN has just started testing its own PPC program for advertisers -- MSN uses Overture/YSM right now for some of those "sponsored links" and it has an old ad program for its own sponsored links (but advertisers had to be big spenders or something).
Anyways, Yahoo is starting to go after publishers with YPN ads, so it will probably have a "AdSense for Search" option someday soon. MSN, though, is a bit further behind. I think MSN is probably testing out its MSN Spaces network first, and if enough blogs or whatever use it, then MSN might come out with a contextual ad program -- which might include an MSN Search feature....
Anyone else have any clues?
I think Ask Jeeves might want to do stuff like this too. And AOL... might be in a holding pattern to see if it gets bought by someone (like MSFT or GOOG)...
2- Adsense box
Google offers AdSense box to publishers, if you are a publisher, you get paid. Yahoo! displays AdSense alike box on their geocities user pages but you get nothing if your site visitors click on those ads.

Except free web hosting.
