I wish you all the luck in the world with your search engine. But I can't help but think you may have missed the mark with your business model.

What people (myself included) seem to really object to most are privacy invading personalized ads. These don't just provide benign info, they are actively taking something that belongs to you --- your privacy.

The more benign alternative is context sensitive ads --- ads based on the topic at hand. If I search for "pet supplies", I can tolerate and maybe even appreciate a few ads for dog food and flea collars. This might be distracting for cat owners but this is something I think most would be willing to accept in exchange for the "free" service.

DuckDuckGo seems to be growing very nicely with context sensitive ads.
