Default Custom Search (Google)
OK -- I'm thinking of buying a site very similar to Blackle, but wanted to ask these questions:

- Is it possible to use other ad networks on the same page as google search, since that's what the main page will be?

I had someone say this:

Quote:
Having the search bar as the main focus of your page is against Google's TOS. They'll shut you down eventually. I like your domain name though. I just think you should do something else with the site concept.
Is that true? If it is, then why is Blackle allowed?

That's all -- thanks!

Read the google TOS for using search and adsense sponsored results and find the answer. Everything is pretty plain and simple there.

Yes its possible to use other ad networks on the same page.

Why would you buy a site that is simple, blackbackground and just a google search box? Why not start whitele and make it white? Or redle, or I'd presonally like to see a maroonle!

It has a blog, too.

I'll have a good read tomorrow.

Reason for black: http://ecoiron.blogspot.com/2007/01/...megawatts.html.

I'm not sure yet -- I could change it a little if I gain ownership.

Yup! Should have ownership of the site pretty soon -- I'll post a link once I do.

I must admit, I like the black interface and will probably use it to perform my searches from

That's good to hear. Trying to get many people to have it as their homepage -- so every time you open your browser, you save a few watts. Every little helps, so they say...

It's got a blog with it -- not sure whether it would be appropriate to open a forum for suggestions and discussion? What do you think?

Not sure a forum would go well with it honestly.

You could always bust out the free software solution for it to test the waters and if it proves useful upgrade it


Or you could send everyone to my forums
