Against Google TOS?

The google ads and the results links on the demo look very similar, hard to pick them apart and confusing...so yes I think you may have a problem. Why not e-mail google and ask...
 
Thanks nnh. I have posed the question on the AdSense forum ages ago but no reply. Anyone else have a take on this? Cheers!
 
IMHO it would break the adsense T&C's

Plus, its idiotic as google's CSE product does this and better.

Do a search on buycars.co.uk | Welcome for example of CSE in action, the paid version is even better :)
 
Yes - you can have auto searches / preform.

The most powerful aspect of CSE is the ability to have site only searches, and custom url searches. eg. say if you wanted a domain only search, you could make it so it only covers acorn/nominet/icann whatever.

Lots of clever stuff can be done, and quite lucrative as well in the right niches.
 
I have the Google CSE search set up like that on one my sites so that results open in a page on my site, earnings from clicking ads on the search results page seem to pay better than normal Adsense clicks on my site pages.

Thanks Kev and Rob. Maybe I'm just having a 'thicko' day but if you wanted to use CSE for parking, are you able to 'stuff' the URL as a basic forward/redirect? As you can see, this kind of thing isn't my forte :(

So, to accomplish what I'm talking about, could I set up a simple URL redirect that results in a lander? Like this again where I have added the keyword 'domains' to the Google URL gibberish:

http:// www. scam-info-links. info/search.html?cx=partner-pub-5105785360731465%3Aidx923-avig&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=domains&sa=Search#1097

I added spaces so this won't turn into a hot link...
 
Nope mate, google tos prevents redirects.

I checked into it and asked them and they said it was a big no no. It will work but if you make too much then they will investigate and pull it.

My experience of G is just to play safe, loads of people have said you get banned and it's not going back in 99% of cases.

A lot of people using that script are in my opinion just a matter of time away from getting banned.

Thanks Graeme - it's what I expected really - all too good to be true. Back to the drawing board.
