Being a google dissident myself , I'm not sure, but think it is against google's quality guidelines not to give surfers the opportunity to hit the back button without disturbance to return to their search results... watch you PR baby ....

Maybe in future they will, who knows :) @ Mitch

After adding "blog", you obviously do come up. I saw the page, and, well, it does offer some choices, but man, it's ugly! That pure white with that little yellow strip; do they allow for any color customization at all? <abbr><em>Mitch’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/508885499/" rel="nofollow">My Big RSS Subscriber Contest!</a></abbr></em> I did the test, and the first thing I was surprised about is that when I typed in “memyselfandi”, your blog didn’t come up at all; stunned by that!

The money, to be honest it is still a little early to give you specific details on that since I have only had it up for a few days, and it would completely depend on the traffic you are getting through search engines, but think of it this way: * It is more than if you don´t have it installed * It is not annoying your regular visitors * It is not intrusive to the people finding your place through google * It will give your exit traffic more search results they were looking for anyways So far I have it installed on a few "low traffic" blogs and even though I think it is way too short to give actual stats, average CTR is between 10 and 17%, highest eCPM so far that I have is $12.35 if that is what you are asking. I am assuming these rates will only improve over time, with more participants, more traffic and more people advertising on the results page. If it is worth the "trouble" to copy paste a small code? I see it as the difference between nothing (people leaving your site without any ROI) and at least getting something out of it, so that is for you to decide :) but for me it sure beats annoying exit monetization options like popups and customer service chat popping up trying to sell you a "better offer". Hope that answers your question :) hey Mitch, nice to see you here!

* It is more than if you don´t have it installed
* It is not annoying your regular visitors
* It is not intrusive to the people finding your place through google
* It will give your exit traffic more search results they were looking for anyways

So far I have it installed on a few “low traffic” blogs and even though I think it is way too short to give actual stats, average CTR is between 10 and 17%, highest eCPM so far that I have is $12.35 if that is what you are asking.
