I saw google ads on my website today which features a search box, and it takes you to the google search results page. The queries are already filled in the ad and are relevant to what the users type to find my website and if google takes them back to its search results page, am I not going to loose some potential customers? Here's the screen shot of the ad:
When you make a Google search bar in your AdSense account you can either tell it to view pages across the web, or just within your website. So if you want users to stay on your website I would suggest selecting just your website.
no, I did not make google search bar. This is a plain adsense code to show ads, but it's acting like a google search.
Maybe because you dont have enough content on the page. If the code you placed in your sidebar is a sidebar ad, or a link unit, then it should be appearing as that. But like I said there could be not enough content. Try placing the same code on a page full of content, and see what happens. If the same thing happens, then I have no idea...
