hi,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with this query.

If I have a search engine that generates dynamic results from a db of urls based on a user's query - is there any way to get relevant adsense ads on the resultant SERP.

As I understand it, the mediabot MUST visit a page before ads can be shown, however I have seen people in the past discussing adsense on SERPS.

Have they just been discussing SERPS for recurring queries - i.e first showing of results page shows PSA and subsequent ones will then show ads (after being spidered).

Presumably an approach would be to run a few thousand(?) queries through the engine and render results pages that the mediabot can subsequently spider. Then check subsequent user's queries for similar terms and recreate already spidered pages with the new results.

The matching would obviously be hit and miss initially but could be refined over time.

Does this sound like a good approach or am I missing something really simple?

ok,
at the danger of having a public conversation with myself, I'll just update this with the findings of my investigations in case anyone else finds them useful, and then consign this thread to history.

Adsense works fine on dynamic SERPS, so long as it has logged the URL before. This is the full url including any querystring after the .asp? .jsp? or whatever you are using. The querystring must be contained in the returned url.

So, if you did have a niche search engine you could go to overture, espotting et all and find the hundreds (thousands) etc of keyword combinations matching your subject and programatically run them through your search engine script.

Hey presto, a percentage of your first time queries (those that match queries that you have run through) will have relevant ads on them.

Of course it might be worth checking with the adsense team if they had a problem with your first pass of queries.
