Google Co-op

[r72gs]

This may not be parking but it is traffic monetization and sort of a self hosted parking for a domain.

I've heard some talk about Google Co-op and I firgured I'd give it a try. I made a very simple two page site for a custom search engine and added my adsense code.

I'm very new to making and editing web pages but it's a start. My site gets 50 or so UV's a day with a very untargeted traffic so maybe the search will get me more targeted ads.

I've attached a copy of the template I made if anyone wants to try it. It should only take 10 minutes for you to put your information in. Keep in mind I am no web designer it's just a basic page.

I have an example at www.salbloger.com

Thanks r, I've been trying to make one of these but for some reason the code they give me doesn't include the URL that I specify for the results. I can put the URL in on the 'code' page, but the code itself isn't updated.

I worked it out by looking at your code and seeing it there so I've added that bit in on my page and it works now. Did you need to add yours in manually or did it do it automatically?

If anyone else is trying to do this and having the same problem, all you have to do is add the results URL into the first bit of search code that you put on your page where it says "<form action="http://" id="searchbox" , you just need to complete the "http://" bit.

I don't know why the Google site won't update the code with the results URL, but I tried it in IE and FF and it didn't update it. There is no button to 'Update Code' or anything like that.

By the way r, when you make a new page with analytics code, you may as well use their GA code rather than urchin, because GA will be developed to include loads of new features. I'm leaving all my old ones as urchin until I modify them, but all the new pages I do get the new GA code so that they can benefit from the developments.

Thanks, for the tip on GA.

Google site updated the code for me. You have to put the results URL in everytime. It does not save it.
