Last I checked, they were paying website owners to put a search box on their site--they paid two cents per search sent their way. That was when they were still goto.com, I don't know if they're still doing it. Not a bad deal for them, when you think about it. I actually gave goto.com a try, putting down $30 and bidding on some keywords. It worked out okay I guess, but I get much more hits from search engines that I don't have to pay for. Anyway though, let's say you bid 20 cents on certain keywords...you're not going to get click-thrus that cheap from other forms of web advertising (banners and the like).
No one is mentioning Super Monkey Ball for Game Cube. This is Sega's first game for a Nintendo system, so you would think it would draw some notice. Honestly, I thought it was kiddish just by looking at the name and the case art, and I would have never purchased it myself. But I got it as a gift, and let me tell you it is an incredible game--probably the best of the launch titles. This is especially true if you have lots of people to play with. There's nearly ten different games built into Monkey Ball. It's further proof that you don't need violence, pre-rendered sequences, digitized graphics, and all that other crap to make a FUN game. That's what I like about Nintendo consoles: Making sure the games were FUN was always first and foremost, with or without the flash and the bells and whistles.

Winmx is a decent alternative.
