Setting up Google Custom Search

Hello, I am having some trouble setting up Google's Custom Search thing. I wanted to display the results on my site, but when I hit search, the page results.php is a blank page (but I have the code snippet on it to display results).

Anyone can help?

 

Hey!

first of all, what kind of code are you trying to implement? iframe, overlay or google hosted?

if you choose iframe, it will give you two different codes.. one for displaying the search engine and the other to display results..

I think you have entered results.php in the box
"Specify the url in your site where you want the search results to appear:"
where you generate the code.

If thats so, then dont forget to add the search result code in the results.php

It should work!

Good luck..

 

yep , Quest's answer are so good.

 

Nice tips thanks for sharing.

 

iframes? If there are people who still use that... you're stabbing yourself in the back. It harms your rankings.

 

"I wanted to display the results on my site, but when I hit search"

Can you show us your site?

 

CSE offers an option for iframes.. so its not stabbing anyone

You can see www.downloadmegasite.com

Where i have implemented CSE, to display results.

Okay it works, but how do I make moeny off this, where do the google ad's come in? Or can I add my own google adsense ads?

Thx

 

In your Custom Engine Control Panel, you can find an option "Make Money" where you can link your adsense to CSE.. thats basically creating a new adsense channel for CSE..
