Hey everyone I have a question regarding the placement and generation of advertisements on a meta-search engine. Example: I have 3 search engine API's available from my site. Uses can choose which search engine (or all three at once) they wish to use for their search. What would be the best way to integrate advertisements on my site based on the keyword the user entered in the search box? AdSense is not an option because I am using a free Google API. Any help or information on where I can find more help regarding this topic would mean very much to me. Thank you, Jackpot
If you are using a ppc search engines xml feed then you can do a little bit of php so that when someone does a search it will also change the keywords in the xml feed. For example, with searchfeed you can choose what keywords to use so that the right ads appear on your site. You do this by inputing your keywords into the script. Just us php to grab the keyword from the url and there you are. I believe you can do this with anything that requires you to instert your own keywords into the actual code that you put on your page. Just because a program has code that allows you to input the keywords, doesn't mean they allow their ads to be put on search pages so it's best to read their TOS or ask them first.
