At the time, some seemed skeptical of this recommendation, and my post was actually downvoted-- people thought that I was plugging GoodSearch too hard without enough evidence for its quality. I now want to return to the topic with a more detailed report on my experience using GoodSearch for a year and how that has worked out for me.

I commend you on taking that situation as a learning experience, and doing better instead abandoning your object entirely. You deserve up-votes just for that.

I'm curious how the system works? Is it a marketing ploy by bing? The add revenue that they get per-search exceeds the $0.01, so they can afford to undercut Google's "prices", in a manner of speaking?
