It’s not one of the officially supported ones (unless I missed it), but it is easy to integrate GCS into a Firepow blog. No problem.

Hey Mark,

Is GCS plugins included in Firepow system?

@Forest – that is actually pretty good. Better than my results — but it depends on the niche. IF you are getting that result in the IM niche, I think that is pretty good.

This is a very good question, Alberto. It is actually 2 questions — one about the TOS and one about the theme. With regard to the theme, it is certainly possible to create a special page template for GCS. I will do that for you and let you know (I need to do this for myself as well).

Regarding TOS, I am not sure if they count adsense units from search in the “limit of 3″.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I implemented the Google Search in my site, an Adsense Ready WP Theme (thanks Mark), but what happens is that the results page shows the adsense ads already included in the template plus the adsense ads from the GCS.

As an example to see what I mean, go to the site http://www.advogados.eu and type advogados (which means lawyers in Portuguese) in the GCS. On the results’ page you’ll see two blocks of ads on the top, one on the right side and one on the bottom.

Is there a way to put the Google results in a clean template without the corresponding adsense ads so to not violate Google’s TOS regarding the number of ads placed in a page?

Excellent info. Mark – thanks. For those of us with newer blogs that haven’t been fully monetized, this is a great time to add the Google search box with adsense.

I’m just redesigning my blog and was using GCS before. I actually did find it earning $0.30 to a $1 a day so will be getting it back in very soon.
