- Place your search boxes in visible locations.
Integrate your search boxes in easy-to-find locations, such as under the header or in your left navigation. Also, keep the placement of your search boxes consistent on all your pages, so users will know where to look if they need help finding something. - Add two search boxes to content-rich pages.
For pages with a lot of content or which require scrolling, try placing one search box at the top of the page and another at the bottom. A box at the top of the page will allow users to perform a search immediately, and a box at the bottom will provide a search option to users who've just finished reading your content. You can also track and compare the performance of each search box by creating custom channels. - Host your search results on your own site.
To keep users on your pages, you can host your search results and ads within your own pages. If your users don't find what they're looking for in the search results or ads, they'll still be able to to navigate to other sections of your site using your site's template. In addition, you can further integrate your search results into your site by customizing the colors of the results page. - Add a search box to your search results pages.
Similar to #3, try placing a search box on your search results pages so users can perform additional searches from your site. - Customize your ad locations.
Place ads at the top and right sidebar of your search results pages. This layout offers added visibility, and our tests have shown that these ad locations can improve monetization.

few simple but very useful advices
I'm still having trouble. one the ads are always cut off on my page and I already wrote how they keep missing the point of my page and choose ads that don't fit. I have read the Group FAQs, How to Report a Problem page and checked out docs in the Help Center. miracle.write490d@yahoo.com
Hi Miracle,
I got the same issue as yours in my website (epayvn.info). I just thought of myself that this happened because mine is in Vietnamese. However, i am not sure.
N.P.
Thanks for the tips. I have recently re-implemented the search on my blog, and so far have had great CTR with it.
I'll now implement the search bar after each post in my blog.
Hi , referring to your point 3. "Host your results on your own site" .. is it possible to host the (Adsense)ads on my own site ? Does TOS allows this ? And is it possible ? Tx there!
So here is the general idea...
I make about 5% of my money on the search, 95% on the adds, and 0% on referrals (now canceled anyway).
So you get the idea... you can see how much effort I would spend on them.
All of the tips are nice. But if you really want to know where to place the search box; try to search ' The Best Method To Flirt '
on Yahoo and examine it carefully.
After that, leave your comment here.
Good idea...
Hi,
Thank you for the excellent tips!
I would just like to ask, if I will buy a domain in Blogger, can I participate in Adsense for Search?
I would appreciate so much if you could enlighten me about it.
Again, thank you.
Cheers!
