To be more precise, Brainfinds.com is presented as a provider of search-based advertising that delivers the most relevant and highest paying ads from an unspecified advertiser base. That does not mean that Brainfinds.com provides you only with advertisements. In contrast, it generate search resuls as any regular search engin.
