The ads on Atomz are not always the most tasteful, from my personal
experience.
I manage a webiste at a university and was using Atomz, from the time
when it only required a small Atomz logo on the search page. When they
announced that they would begin to include advertisments, I knew we
would have to change, but was told that it was not crucial and should
not make it my highest priority.
We then discovered that some of the ads being listed with our search
results were for thesis-writing services. Not really the best image for
the university to be presenting.
Suddenly, switching the search implementation became a much higher
priority. :-)
