I am not referring to Google oop. I am referring to the adsense Google Search. When we put it to our website, are we allowed to search contents with it?
How do we know we are not allowed? There is nothing written about the Google Adsense Search in TOS or Program policies. Any official Google document regarding the "not allowed" of using own Google Search?
they only "strongly recommend" not doing it,not disallow it. of course they will strongly recommend not doing it.you cant click on ads on your search box,wheres google.com,they want you to click on the ads.
The Google Coop search engine is much better (in my opinion) as far as site integration and such, plus you can search on it yourself, and the ads placed in the page can be linked to your account, as ForgottenCreature said, so you still get those ad clicks.
I wrote a tutorial about Google Co-op for those that are interested. Added pictures and everything: http://www.fka200.com/2007/12/27/step-by-step-tutorial-to-make-money-with-google-coop/
I was under the impression you were allowed to as long as you didn't exceed X amount of searches or click ads... but I might be mistaken. I read that a while ago.
don't be lazy. just make google your homepage and use it... its the click of a button away. why risk your adsense account?
