Can we encourage users to search in our website?

    Hi I am using adsense for search in my site. Can I encourage the users to search for stuff on my site using the words "search for it here"? I think it's ok since I don't ask them to click on the sponsored links and visitors don't know what they are searching for if we don't tell them what the search box is about. Any guide with it? I search through the help and can't find a topic on this.

    I think it's OK although some of your visitors might feel it demeaning to them (or you). You don't want to look desperate after all. I think that if your site is good and gets people asking questions of some kind, they are more prone to use the google search. Good luck!

    No need to take any risks because search CTR is low

    No, that hasn't really been my experience. And even if it were, the eCPM is higher for me.

    yes u can, but search CTR is low and eCPM is low too...

    there was also a fee to use google search while in ur website... mean u got 1 click 0.10, cutting the search fee, u only left 0.04 or 0.03 like that...

    IMO, that'll be encouraging people to search which is not allowed.
