Paid Search Engine ?

**worldir** · 03-15-2008, 07:04 AM

Heard there something like a paid search engine that can earn some commission if your user search thru via your recommendation search engine

Anyone try this before or can recommend this type of paid search engine ?

Amazon will give you a commission for it.
Basically, it works by you hosting an amazon search box. If a user makes a purchase after the search you get a commission on that sale.

I have one on my site that I use just to get the kickback on personal purchases from amazon. For my site, amazon search doesn't really fit for my visitors.

That's good if you want some extra income. Though it's a cents but still can help. I'm planning to add amazon search on my blog but I'm afraid that my adsense account will be ban because of this.

I think that it is something like affiliate program on Amazon. But just some specific kind of it. IMO

Um...Google allows you to host their search listings on your site through an AdSense account. You don't get paid for every search performed, but you get money if someone clicks on one of the sponsored links that turns up in the results page. Another benefit to it that not many people will probably tell you is that you can see what your users are searching for, which, in turn, can help give you direction for what kind of content you should add to your site next.
