Google ditches dictionary.com for answers.com
14 March 2005
Search giant Google has reportedly changed its definitions link from dictionary.com to answers.com.
answers.com pulls information from wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia project written and edited by thousands of volunteers, that receives bandwidth from Google.com.
Google and answers.com recently announced an agreement to include Google's contextual AdSense advertising on answer.com's information pages and integrate Google search into its product.
Answers.com's revenue stream is based on including advertising alongside its millions of library topics.
Bob Rosenschein, CEO of GuruNet (answers.com's parent company), said: "We are pleased to be working with the industry leader and leveraging their broad ad inventory and strong technology."
When Answers.com's visitors require information beyond the site's selected reference content, a co-branded version of Google takes over.
