How to Get More Ads on AdSense for Search

AdSense for Search can yield high earnings for very specific types of search.

If you implement this on your website, it helps to guide your users into what types of searches they should use it for.

For example, one of my most popular websites caters to genealogists. And genealogists tend to run searches on surnames or names of their relatives. If they were to run a search on my website, using the AdSense for Search box, they'd mostly likely enter a query like, "william robertson" or "robertsons of texas".

Unfortunately for me, those keyphrases don't produce many ads on AdSense, often none at all. Hence, AdSense for Search would not yield much money.

On the other hand, if I were to place some instructional text right above the AdSense search box, something like, "Enter a surname plus the word 'genealogy'". They'll most likely follow the instruction and the query will produce more AdSense ads, and higher paying ones too.

You might want to run some searches on Google to find out which ones produce the most AdSense ads, and then come up with a short simple instruction to place above the AdSense for Search box.
