At ComDex last week a new search engine called "Simple
Search" (the url is http://www.simplesearch.com) was
promoting themselves. In answering my questions, they
said they offered placement like GoTo. Warning: they
are fairly new so I doubt they get all that much
traffic yet, but they claim they are growing quickly
and they must have some backing behind them cause such
a large booth at ComDex is expensive!
