Fully Integrated Google Site Search and other tweaks...

I have debated on adding a google search. My problem with their search is that when a visitor performs a search, they are given an advertisement on the Google Search Results page. This could lead to the visitor potentially leaving your site. I understand that any form of advertisement does that however you don't really have any control over the ad that is displayed on the results page. Just my opinion though. Great Site BTW. :)

Cheers :wink:

Yeah, I think that's one of the biggest reasons that people do not use Google Custom search as you do not have control over the ads. With regards to the site, however, I'm not sure if this site was vShare at one point but today, it is not running vShare. It's running another tube clone script.

Yes, that is true. The site was originally vshare, but is now more of a combination of vshare, other scripts, and custom coding.

Thanks, Jereme

About the google ads...you CAN set what advertisers you don't want to appear in the results (block certain advertisers)...it's in the Google Adsense contol panel thingie. I don't remember where, just check with Google's help files/support. I'm sure you'll find it.

Yes true, you can set Competitive Ad Filter. :wink:
