Yet another cashback site has been launched, but this time by one of the big boys.

Users can use the Microsoft live search engine to search for products, and see instantly how much cashback they will recieve. Advertisers can list products and set cashback rates giving microsoft their slice of commission too, thus cutting  out the risk of using PPC methods to achieve sales.

Imagine if this eventually spread to google? advertisers wouldn’t need to use PPC, google would still get their commission and users wouldn’t bother visiting any other sites if they can get cashback just by using their favourite search engine.
Certainly makes the future a bit more scarier for affiliate marketers sending traffic to merchants for specific products.
