I have decided to leave a dozen of my domains running full AdSense advertising and try another monetizing solution for the rest of them. I know that Google's TOS specify that you must not run another contextual advertising if you are using AdSense but, what about Google Search? The idea is take off all the AdSense codes, put in its place another contextual ads but keep the Google search tool. is this allowed?
But you'd be a fool to do that. Search (in my experience) generates about 5% of AdSense revenue from the same site. I've deleted all search boxes because basically you might be able to buy a sixpack and a pack of potato chips with search revenue, but that's all.
Well, what I need is basically the search function because most people use Google to seek whatever, and I want to keep the visitors, not the revenue. As I said, in my experience AdSense, including contextual advertising, is not working to me because it takes 3 months to generate a payment and 3 months to cash it out because my bank always is "suspecting" that Google has not funds :/ I'm going over sponsorship paid via paypal, egold, moneybookers or direct deposit, like my main income stream (parked domains), but keeping AdSense just for a few sites originally made for it
