For Example - A Google site search for 'Virgin Holidays' (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=virgin+holidays) shows Virgin as the only PPC bidders as they are protecting for a brand search. Can they not do this for a site search? surely - this is the same as a brand search as you are searching for a term only within that brand's website? Hey Nilhan,
