So what do you get when you take adsense + search engine + wikipedia = wikiseek.com or as I like to call it wikisucks.
Why do I need another adsense infused site? I mean wikipedia search works just fine for me. Normally you make a product to full fill some need. Did we really have a need for wikipedia search with ads?
I mean look at what I get when I search “peron” (o yea my last name) over at wikipedia:
Nice and Clean!
This is what I get with wikiseek:
Notice that the first 3 results look like sponsored ads from Google. O yea on the right hand side is the nice skyscraper ads. (sorry i did not capture this, but take a look yourself)
I know what would be great! If someone would come out with a search engine for (X site - please input any site you want here) that is infused with ads!

You’re right WikiSeek really sucks. I think they return crappy results to force you to click the Adsense stuff out of frustration. The real problem is people who have’nt used Wikipedia are going to get turned off by PeeWikiSeek and not use Wikipedia again.
