Yup, alltheweb, clusty, and sometimes dogpile work for me.

Google frequently gives top ad space to very disreputable companies. A while back I googled up data on a popular digital camera, and the three top slots- preferred advertisers- were all rip-off companies with "customer satisfaction ratings" of less than one, and all had serious complaints on usenet.

Then, back before the USG stopped the sale, if you looked up "tryptamines" on google you got ads galore for companies that sold things like 5-methoxy alpha methyl tryptamine and phenylethylamines not explicitly scheduled (2-ct-7, Blue Mystic, and others)*. Lots of dope ads. But type Winchester and no ads at all pop up because guns are evil to google.

*Operation Web Tryp ended that practice by busting the vendors and putting them in jail.

Google doesn't give "ad space" away. They sell it. Why not contact them and see if "Winchester" is available for you to purchase click-through advertising on?

Maybe nobody has purchased advertising for this word.
