also, i seem to remember that there's a hard limit on how many paid results can be added to each search, but i'm not sure.

i'll have to defer to you here jaan as i've not yet had any time w/the altnet-kazaa system. still my point stands, if not specifically with your program. for instance i wouldn't want to slog thru pages of ads each time i use a search engine just to get to the info i need, nor would I like seeing 50 returns from britney spears latest brain numbing, soul crushing neo-hippie sugar smack when i'm looking for say "60's psychedelia" with my (previously) favorite p2p.
sure, potentially a great promotional tool but potentially counter productive, even destructive as well. it should be done with utmost care and/or it should be optional. the risk here of alienating
content providing users is very high. as always, it's in the details.
