Has anyone here ever had good luck with placing a google search area on their website? I have never made a cent from it and thinking of taking it off.
I have online just placed it on my website and i guess will just wait and see how it goes. but guess i would like to know how it performs for everyone else too.
Been there - done that - I didn't but who knows, maybe you will. Leave it up for a bit see how it goes - if not take it off.
well ive had google search on my site now for 2 weeks and the results are a click through rate of about 45%!!!! So I am happy with this. and the earnings quite reasonable per click on average too, Possibly because i have a search bar on every page and that i am a directory website but yes i will be keeping google search on my site.
well it depends...i didn't had much luck...with the search thingi ....But i do have a celebrity site..which has a damn good record with the search
The Search results will tend to move away your readers to other pages. This is what I have gathered. If you want people to stick around your site, you may rethink having the Search.
I had the search on one of my sites for a few years. Maybe made $100.00 over the entire length of time. I recently took it off for two reasons: 1) Re-designed my site and it didn't "fit in" 2) My visitors were leaving my site too early (so I thought)
I agree - the site niche has a lot to do with it. Congrats to those for whom it has worked! daTropics
I guess it really does depend on what niche you are in, I have an online shopping directory site so i really dont care how soon the user leaves as long as i get paid for the click. If you had a product on your site that you were selling then i guess i would think twice.
Oh no, the search box is seriously dead. To give you an idea, last month received 7868 click on content pages and 4 in search box pages. Total waste of time for me.
