Washington Post search 'powered by' Google

news to me, anyway

[rcjordan]

I don't know if this is a new partnership, but the Washington Post's "search the web" queries have just started showing up in my logs. Nice traffic, too --about the same as ATT.

checking out the serp:
No adwords. WP skyscraper ad on right.

Looks like one converted (room booking), too. Alright!

I have never used it but it has been there for some time. In one of my industries there are Google SPONSORED RESULTS as well as Google SPONSORED LINKS [adwords?]

I get Adwords and Sponsored Results on the Post's site, just like Google itself

>In one of my industries

Most of mine are coming from the "news" tab (searchsection=news in the referral string), and they're just searching on different small town names....

Yep, cross-checking a straight Google serp, there aren't any premium sponsors or adwords on that one, anyway. So it looks like I'm seeing a default skyscraper on the Washington Post cobranded page. Thanks for the heads-up, Mike.

RC, if it's that ugly site of yours, I'm going to be sick. Rolex and the Olympics was bad enough, and now you've tapped into the Washington Post! Gimme a break. ;)
