it’s not – Jason has said its 50/50 at best and my belief is that it’s a content/seo play only. The key to his success is how well he can rank in Google period.

Very interesting! Google really has a hold on the internet – will it always be this way?

I didn’t include HotBot because they pull in listings from multiple sources – but it looks like they are running Yahoo ads.

A friend and I noticed another interesting coincidence with every search engine. All of these sites (at that time: 12/30/07) had results pages that had stylesheets that were similar to the one Google uses. Some of them may have changed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most them them used Adsense. Sorry, but I’m too tired to link them all. Hopefully you can find something interesting.
