Can one put Adsense in search engine results?

Never seen it done, just tried searching the TOS, but I think I am too tired and not seeing clearly anymore. Anyone knows if it is allowed by the TOS?

 

I am sorry if I misunderstand your question, but there's the Search unit that you can put on your pages.
www.google.com/adsense/ws-overview

 

I seem to remember the answer being no. You can only place adsense on pages that mediabot can spider, and as such SERP's don't exist. I might be wrong though.

 

from the TOS ... _https://www.google.com/adsense/policies

 

So it's clear. No ads can be placed in search results

 

Thanks

I did find instances on Mamma and Dogpile, but they probably have a deal with Google.

I also e-mailed adsense directly, will let you know if the reply differs.

 

Take a look at this one: http://www.lookster.net/web/search.php?keywords=Air Travel

Why would google allow any dynamic search engine to display ads on it's serps? They don't seem to be premium publishers either.

 

No ads can be placed in search result, however is it allowed to place it as sponsored links? Let me show you at my search engine. Lookup here

 

I'll be interested to hear an answer to this question.

Rezo, in your directory if I search on 'rrrrrxxxsdfgqrefg', for example, there are no results but there are still ads.

Same thing with my own directory. I have made sure every page has content, and ads are in the header (as recommended to me) but it is true that if someone types a word that is NOT in the directory there is little content on the page of results (an intro paragraph and a footer paragraph only).

I suspect it will be the same with a lot of directories.

 

I emailed Google about adding adsense to the header of my directory and the forum for this very reasons, and was told it was fine.

Adsense on a search result page of a directory is not the same as adsense on a search engine. On a directory media bot can crawl all your links, and if it finds bad uns, it can deal with it. In a search engine none of the content is crawlable. So you can not compare the two.

 

Hi i had a search engine website and i requested an account from adsense and it was approved so i would assume you can i hade text explain links only 1 a page and directly placed above results of search terms.

 

A few days ago I found a search engine that does what you're describing :

http://www.flipedia.com/test.html

 

Just because people are doing it doesn't mean it is acceptable to G.

 

I have the flipedia script and while its true google ads showed, the script goes against quality guidelines. One of my sites got banned from Google - but not adsense!!! - when using it.

The initial question however was for a real search engine Which flipedia isn't.

So judging from the replies I guess we can get away with it.

Just not worth the risk.

Thanks.

 

Cancel that: the flipedia site I have has updated with a PR5.
