Google Right From This Page . . .

If you check the right-hand column on the blog now, you'll see the new Google search box. Along with the Google Ads it is a chance for the blog to earn a few cents. I'm hoping eventually to get this blog off of blogger.com and onto hardware that we can have some control over.

If you want do to a Google search, do it from the blog, and Google will toss a few cents into the hardware kitty.

Seamhead, I switched over to Google from Yahoo a long time ago for web searches. Great if you can make a few pennies like this. With over 11K hits, I would think you are considered at least in a "medium" bucket for quantity of visits on blogger. Curious how this system is set up with the ability to actually get paid for having a blogsite. I know previously your site was spammed by anonymous posters trying to drive traffic to their own sites. Is Google paying you back essentially for advertising? How does Blogger get paid for offering you this free web hosting service? They also get paid by Google (others?)? I.e. like a multi-level marketing advertising where both you and Blogger can get paid? Where can I read up on this?

Oh, maybe I'll Google it.

blogger.com is a Google tool. The dudes at Google are pretty slick.
