Any search box ppc/affiliate

[greenlake]

I have some domains with good volume traffic but am unable to monetize them. Wonder if there is ppc or affiliate wher I could just direct those domains to a an ask.com or cnomy.com or the like landing page.

You can use Google Co-op ? Make a custom co-op page. OR Park with namedrive and use the "search box" template... ParkingPanel has this feature also.

Ack, I hate to bump this thread... but I got a bunch of PMs from people asking me questions about this. A follow up to that post is here:

Is this allowed by google adsense, in terms thay say : no pages without content - search box thats not content.

My understanding is that a Search box with no content is against google TOS you will risk losing your adsense account.

NameDrive is a better solution their optional lander that displays only a search box. Use it for a period of time and then go into the stats and see detailed list grouping what people are actually searching for by region - it has helped me monetize traffic where I did not know what they were searching for.

Best of luck

Tos for custom search engine is much more liberal! You can have a site that is just a specialized search box that returns ONLY the result you choose! The search results also have your adsense id attached to the ads in the results!

Right. Where it gets into iffy territory is if you want to put AdSense ads PLUS the CSE search box on a page with no content, or if you put AdSense ads on the page where the actual search results display (if you set it to use a page of your own rather than Google's)

It is not against any TOS to have just the search box and no other useful content, as long as you are not also displaying AdSense ads in addition to the search.

You might have a problem if you have a page with nothing but a CSE search box and three AdSense blocks.

But I think in some part it also depends on who stumbles across your page and reviews it. I wasn't sure about my haunted sites; I have a single AdLinks unit on the page, and a major graphic, but very little text. To be sure about it, I contacted AdSense Support and asked them to review it and tell me if it would be okay, and they said go for it. And on those pages (partly because the idea didn't occur to me until it was almost Halloween so the shelf life was pretty short) I made more off the link units than the search box. But I have other sites where I make FAR more off of search than off of ads.

Your mileage may vary, and when in doubt, ask the authority.

This isn't AdSense for search. It's Google Co-op (my previous links).

Adding AdSense For Content on these pages would be against TOS. I already asked. The point of my links was to be able to customize w/out breaking AdSense TOS.
