Google Co-op, your personal Search Engine

This one is really nice — Google Co-op allows you to create a custom search engine and launch it from your own site.

Build and customize your own search engine:

* Specify the sites you want to include in searches.
* Place a search box and search results on your website.
* Customize the look and feel to match your website.
* Invite your community to contribute to the search engine.
* Make money from relevant ads in your search results.
* Learn more: FAQ and featured examples.

I have one right here: YugaTech Search.

So if you’re running a really huge forum like Motorcycle Philippines, you can use this instead and free your server of a ton of CPU load from index searching.

Just like Adsense for search, you can also monetize this search engine by adding your own Adsense Publisher ID.

Finally, a good article about this topic! I can’t believe I had to go thru like 20 blogs just to locate this good article. All their information jointly even now can’t equal the information of this post. I have learned a good deal and will bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!

Now that I tried Abe’s “Pinoyblogosphere” … that is useful!

Let’s think of a way of loading the Co-op with thousands of pinoy blog domains…

The real power here is searching multiple sites which you specify and rank.

I was looking at using this to build our long-planned Pinoy Search Engine, but then the number of sites included is limited to what you can put in a text box. Now if you can upload the list of sites… there we have something.
