View Full Version : Getting to the Bottom of the Google Search Network!

I don't understand Google, they constantly give incentives for us to use the Google Search Network, yet no where do they tell us who makes up the Search Network? This network must not be filled with the best real-estate on the web, considering that almost universally our CTR drops quickly anytime we enable the Search Network.

I've combed the internet for such a list and I can't find it, so I figured with the joint resources of this forum perhaps we could compile a list of the Google Search Network Partners.

LOL, you would think we could quickly name several of them, but I'm hard pressed to think of just a few. Yet, somehow the impressions double when Search Network is turned on.

I'll add:
ask.com
lycos.com
dogpile.com

Isn't domainpark or adsense for domains or whatever the heck they call it now also considered part of the search network?

I am not certain that they are.... the content stuff is not part of the search network so most of the adsense stuff is not... I even think AdSense search is counted in content and not as part of the search network.

Domain parking is a program acquired along with ADSENSE from www.appliedsemantics.com when Google bought them, it seems to work like any other landing page PPC program (http://www.google.com/domainpark/)!

Yeah, I know what it is. I thought it was part of the search network, but now that I thought about it again realize it's considered part of Google search, not the search partners.
