Can't buy Yahoo! (at least for now)? Buy search users instead.

Microsoft has launched a service called "Live Search Cashback." The program is linked to Microsoft's acquisition of Jellyfish.com last year, a cashback site similar to eBates, where rebates of varying percentages are given for purchases clicked-through from the site. This probably explains why the cashback portion of Jellyfish has been down of late --- and is down again today.
