What I can never understand in this whole process is why anyone bothers to leave google when looking for products and therefore how the adsense farms survive.
If I search on Google for say Dishwashers, I get 3 Adword ads then the generical search results and the rest of the paid adverts on the right. If I click on a 'real' algo search result (for dishwashers the 4th one is appliance.com) and its designed a an adsense farm then all it gives me is the same result as the paid ad word advertisers I just saw on Google less those who opt out of content network.
So why does anyone click on these adsense farms as they are just giving cut down version of what you just saw on Google. Now a-days when I'm looking to buy or compare products I just click on the adword advertisers shown on the google search pages.
The other thing that is starting to annoy me is those algo search results that aren't pointing to adsense farms all point to either Yahoo's Kelkoo or ebay/paypal's shopping.com site or even one of there affiliates. As I said its easier just to click adwords on the google search.
