AdSense for Search
August 31st, 2005 at 6:06 pm
In case you didn’t noticed, I have put AdSense for search in Archives page of My Money Blog.
What is AdSense for Search
It’s a way for website publishers to provide Google web and site search to their visitors, and to earn money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages. Adding the Google search box to your website puts search engine at your visitors’ fingertips. And combining search with AdSense puts Google’s base of advertisers to work for your bottom line.
Google AdSense combines Google’s search technology with thousands of keyword advertisers to deliver targeted text-based ads to search result pages. People find these ads useful and click on them, and when they do, Google pays you. It’s easy as that.
Features
Customize your search pages
In just a few minutes you can customize the look and feel of the Google search box to match your site. Just add your logo and match the search results to your site by changing the colors of the background, title, text, URL and more.
Let your visitors search the web or your website
With Google search, your visitors can search the Web from your website and SiteSearch feature will let them search your own site as well.
Google will host the search results for you
You don’t have to pay for software or technical expertise to add search to your site, and you don’t have to pay to host it, either.
Filter out unwanted ads
You can filter competitive ads from partners with whom you have exclusive relationships, or others you want to block.
Track your results online
You can track the number of queries, clicks, clickthrough rate via a web-based account which you can easily update at any time.
If you are already using AdSense, log in to your account, copy and paste a block of HTML onto your web pages, and just like that, you’ll be delivering search and targeted ads and you will get paid every time one of your visitors clicks on an ad.
Not yet using Google AdSense and AdSense for search? You can sign up for free on Adsense page.

Thanks for the tip - I thought this was only open to certain publishers, but I’ve just checked my AdSense account and it has allowed me to subscribe to it.
Have you had much success with it yet?

I don’t use it long enough to be able to talk about any success with it. Let’s wait a month or two and we will see how it will work out for me.

I have been using it for a couple of weeks now. (since Aug. 12th) On two sites with very little traffic. I earned a few bucks (not too much). I felt this was a good test and will continue using it.
