I'm a new convert to AdSense and it's been working pretty well on my site. I like the ads, the colors and the placement I chose is good (I get +/- 1% CTR in my forums without cluttering it - it still looks good).
I have my own internal search engine which is really good - but Google's is better. So I was thinking of using AdSense for Search. I bet it would help monetize my site.
The thing is, I would prefer it to only search my site and display the results inside my own template. In other words, I want some control over how it looks and my first priority is appearance & functionality.
To that end I messed around with Google's utility for making the AdSense for Search code but found it to be butt ugly.
Is there a way (or am I allowed) to make it so that it searches only my site and displays the results in my own template?
Better yet, does anyone have a good example of what they've done to make AdSense for Search integrate nicely into their own site.
Thanks for any replies!
i have my own search engine and wanted to add a drop-down menu for the user to search the site or search via google... anyway, i asked google and they said no.
i dont see what the bid deal is but anyway, cant argue with them.. i don't like the google search form/button/etc on dark background.. looks like crap so i wanted to use my own form which i have custom made with css/etc.
guess i won't be using adsense for search.
Right now my own search engine's results page is nicely formatted within the my template. I do have Adsense on the top of it and it's still context sensitive so I guess I'll leave it alone :-)
