how ansearch makes $$

How's this for good research! Make of it what you will.

Ansearch gets 3000 unique users per day which works out to be 90,000 searches a month but the reason Phonebook has got about 1 million hits is because Ansearch has advertised with the Google Adwords which appear on the right hand side of a Google search.

Phonebook have about 1000 keywords which they will appear for on the Google Ad words. When you click on the link it will take you into the search results of Phonebook itself.

The 3000 unique users are stats from the month of June because Phonebook was launched the 25th May 2005.

Ansearch sits on par with Yahoo because Ansearch gets close to the same unique users as The Yahoo Local Search. This is the same as Google because Google get their information from Yahoo.
