Can you tell me how you did this? I cant seem to figure out how to connect this search to a custom channel...

You don't do that. You just need to configure custom search how do you like it and in tab Make money you need to associate it with your AdSense ID. After that everything works, ads shown on your custom search pages are linked to your account.

I believe I am. I'm showing ads: (see: http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparf...s-street-strip)

I just don't know if its connected to a custom channel or not, or does it do that automatically?

If you just show ads, that means nothing. Google shows ads until you purchase option without ads. Only thing is, if Google shares earnings with you or not. You need to connect your AdSense account to receive some money from your these ads.

As I said, you do this in Custom Search CP->Choose your site (I have more than one, if you have only one maybe you don't need to choose your site)->Setup->Make Money. In that tab (Make Money) you connect your AdSense account.

If you did that, you see your AdSense ID there. And money starts to come. And it's not channel. It's type of product.

Go and see custom search ACP, it would be much clearer there what you should do.

i pay for pro vrsion but every time i enetr Google Search ID i get the following erroe massage
Error:
You did not enter a valid value for this setting.

attached screan shoot

also can i add my adsense ad unit in serach result page after queriesperiod , and where i need to insert ad code

You can ignore this as long as the ID is correct

You can't add additional ad units on the search results page, no. The ads that are displayed should already have your ads displayed, so you really don't need any more ads.

i have a dark theme installed on my forum do do i remove the white google custom search text from the search box or alter it?

BTW i bought the paid version.

For GA, there is a report under Behavior > Site Search - the query parameter is still q , so nothing should have to be changed.

Thanks for purchasing!

You can modify the template 'see_more_gsearch_form'

I am associated -- the only thing is the revenue doesn't show under the custom channels like was said earlier, it shows under the Products tab
