Has anyone been using google custom search for profit generation? I know it all depends on the domain and audience you are targetting but hows the profit generation in google custom search? I guess there should be some profit while people are using it or there is not?
I've recently added it to my pages... As far as I understand it is an extention of Google's Adsense and you will still earn money from the click throughs. I might be wrong but it looks like Google is giving the user the choice to search for other 'ADS' which they didn't suggest. I'll keep an eye on my traffic and earnings and give you feedback once per week.
Logon to your Adsense account. Make sure that you are on the HOME tab. Go to the help centre search box on the bottom left. Enter the word "GOOGLE CUSTOM SEARCH" and hit the GO button. You'll see a couplde of articles. A good article explaining how this works is called 'What's the difference between AdSense for search and Custom Search?'. Check it out and let me know if this helped?
I read the article by google but i'm still confused. I have use google adsense search on my site and i've seen that it generates a few pennies every time someone makes a search but I'm not sure if it says the same about Google CSE because it says "monetization of search results pages with targeted ads". So now i got two questions? 1. Will google CSE generate revenue based on the searches done? 2. Do we get paid on google CSE by displaying ads or when users click on the ads?
These ads will show whenever someone use the Custom Search box you installed on your site, Google will pay you on clicks from the ads shown together with the search results using this CSB.
