Get rid of that search box!

Many blogging tools - such as Wordpress (which by the way I’m using) - offer a custom search box to search articles on your site. That’s a very useful feature, indeed, so why should you get rid of it?
The reason is quite simple: money.

In fact, as you may know, Google offers a custom search box for sites that:

  • let you search on the given site (that is, it replaces your WordPress-or-whatever search box)
  • has your own look and feel
  • let you search on the web

But the nicest part of this is that with the Google adsense search you can earn money from the searches that your users do, and this would be impossible with that WordPress-or-whatever search box you have!
