AdSense For Search
Are You Using Only Content AdSense Advertising? Then You May Be Missing Out
Are you completely happy with the Search widget that you’re currently using? Is it making you any money? If not, perhaps you should consider using Google Search… With AdSense on your site.
Using the Search with Adsense can often make a blogger as much money as AdSense alone. If you haven’t incorporated the AdSense search into your page, you could be missing out on half of your profits.
Additionally, AdSense for search is a great way to monetize your blog unobtrusively. Almost every other method of making money with your blog requires that you display Ads on it somewhere. Although readers accept this, if you have too many ads it will turn them off. With AdSense for search, your visitors don’t see any ads until they do a search. Even then the ads are still pretty unobtrusive. It is the best of both worlds.
AdSense for search is easy to install in your blog - If you have any trouble installing it, head over to LiewCf who has written a great article about incorporating the Google search function into your theme, and how to make the results show up in your own page.
Trackback - Thanks RT for putting me on AdSense for search.
So do you use AdSense for search? Has it made any money for you?

Hi,
Do you earn only if visitors search and then click on an Adsense advert within the search results or is it if they click on any result on the search page? I know how to implement it etc, just wondering about how you earn money.

I find on my blogs placing the adsense search at the top left of the page creates a good click/search ratio, as visitors are most attracted to the top left section of each page.

Forgot to add. If you use simple content and not too much gimmicky things on your pages then the click through ration on your adsense pages go up dramatically.

When creating adds in google adSense “Setup adds” tab, you have option box with 3 choices, one of them is “open in same windos” or soething similar. You chose that and get piece of code that you put in your page (in html of your page) and then search results will be opened in same window.
