I didn't necessarily mean that search engines buy traffic from other search engines. Instead search engines have been buying traffic through deals with computer makers (Dell, HP), software makers (Adobe, Mozilla), and other websites (MySpace, Facebook). Yes, I think it makes sense that a search engine can pay a relatively small sum for undifferentiated traffic, then sell that user's click once they express a very specific information need via a search query. This was the logic of Bill Gross, the founder of Overture (now owned by Yahoo!) and turned out to be true to a degree even he likely underestimated. I believe this story is laid out in the book "The Search" by John Battelle. No violation of the second law here. Thanks George.
