Using WebSearch and SiteSearch to Maximize Earnings

WebSearch is a service for website owners who wish to provide search options for visitors to their website, directly from any web page. WebSearch result pages use Google’s search to provide relevant results and these search results are customized to fit with the theme of your website. Results pages also contain Google ads targeted to the user’s query and this helps to increase your revenue as well.

If you wish to add WebSearch to your site, fill out the online application. If your application is approved, Google will provide you with the necessary code to insert into your web pages to generate the Web Search box wherever you want it located on your page. The same application approves you for both AdSense and WebSearch and you can decide to use a combination of the two programs.

WebSearch is also free and Google pays you for valid clicks on the search results pages.

SiteSearch is an optional element of WebSearch that allows visitors to your website to search within your pages. The results from SiteSearch earn you money when users click on any of the ads displayed on these pages.

SiteSearch can only search the pages of your website that have been added to Google’s search index.
