Not really sure what this means, but got it from searchtimes. Also got one from 3000search that made less sense than this.

Dear Affiliates!

As we want to provide quality traffic to all our advertisers and partners. Therefore you cannot be affiliate & partner of any other search engine in addition to searchtimes.com. If you want to send traffic to any other search engine in addition to searchtimes.com, you must terminate your account with searchtimes.com. Your login information is given below:

After Login, just click Deactivate to terminate your account.

Is it possible the search engines are getting complaints from advertisers? Too many incentive based paid-to's are sending inferior quality visiters to their sites, with no intention to buy?

This may explain why some search engines such as searchbadger have started terminating accounts. The multiple paid-to-search may become a thing of the past.

Ya, I got that too.....
I think its kind of weird that they're actually just coming out and saying that so bluntly and I think it is also unfair.
Your comment about inferior visitors may be true, but here is my view on pay per click search engines:
Advertisers of pay per click search engines in my opinion are wasting a lot of money. What I mean is, who regularly searches on a pay per click search engine? No one.......
If you want to search you go to Yahoo or Google or somewhere else, not to SearchTimes.com
What other types of visitors are they expecting to get?
Thats just my opinion though....
I do after all do many paid searches.

Ahhh.... but Yahoo and Google are spidered results. The search engines used in the paid to search links derive their major source of income from from these advertisers who place bids per click to be listed ahead of the spidered results. We as members have on numerous occasions been encouraged to click among the top 5 results, which are paying advertiser sites.

I am sure these advertisers are very dismayed at seeing the click to sales ratio declining, thereby decreasing/eliminating bids on certain keywords, which then reduces income to the search engine that is supposed to pay you to pay us.
