Coolest Idea For Publishers. Adsense Search With Google 
Toolbar
Adsense has several products under its belt and some 
are obviously more popular than others. Web publishers 
have been discussing and comparing adsense products 
such as referrals and contextual advertising in popular 
forums such as Digitalpoint. Apparently, referral 
products and even Google search does not appear as 
popular as contextual ads. Why is that so?
Publishers only benefit from contextual advertising 
when visitors click on the ads on the web page. In many 
instances, in order to achieve that, ads are optimized to 
blend in nicely with the look and feel of the web pages. 
When done right, these ads look like relevant links on 
the site and if visitors are interested in what is being 
advertised, they will click on the ads. Contextual ads are 
simple to implement and ads will show on the site 
within minutes of copying and pasting some simple 
Javascript code.
In contrast, it is not easy to generate the same amount 
of revenue using other adsense products such as Google 
search and referrals. Like contextual ads, implementing 
Google search involves copying and pasting some code. 
However, unlike contextual ads, publishers do not 
benefit when searches are
being made. Each search returns a set of relevant results 
and if there are ads for those keywords, they will appear 
as sponsored results at the top of the page. The 
publisher only earns when the visitor clicks on one of 
those sponsored ads. So let's recap. The visitor has to 
key in some keywords, click on the search submit 
button, wait for the results to load, and IF he or she 
clicks on an ad, the publisher earns some money. 
Compare that to contextual ads, where the visitor simply 
have to make a simple click and the money is credited to 
the publisher's account.
It is even more difficult to convert visitors to revenue 
using Adsense referral products, although each 
conversion generally pays more. For example, refer a 
publisher to the Google Adsense program and if the 
publisher makes $100 within 180 days, another $100 will 
be credited to the publisher who sent the referral. That 
means the visitor has to visit a site, somehow locate the 
Adsense referral button, click on it, read more about the 
program, sign up and wait for approval. Upon approval, 
the publisher will have to implement the products and 
make $100 within 180 days. If not, whoever sent
the referral to the adsense program makes nothing.
Here's another example. The Adsense program pays a 
referral fee if a visitor clicks on a button or link, 
download and successfully install the Firefox browser. 
The publisher's job, will then be trying to convince the 
visitor that Firefox is good for him or her, and send the 
visitor to the download page. If the visitor downloads 
the 5.33MB file and successfully install the browser, the 
publisher gets up to a dollar. Needless to say, it is indeed 
much tougher for the publisher to earn that dollar, 
compared to contextual ads.
So where does that leave publishers? Publishers want to 
promote the Firefox browser but what if they don't have 
any software/webmaster related sites that will convert 
nicely? So let's say a publisher have a site about dogs. 
He or she could put a download link on the site that says 
"We recommend searching more about dogs using the 
Google toolbar". The publisher don't get paid for the 
download but when the installer uses the toolbar to 
make a search and click on an ad, the account gets 
credited with money. The concept behind it is similar to 
Google search, just that it's on a toolbar. Google could 
come up with a web-based control panel (likely within 
adsense login) for publishers to generate
the download. In the market, there are already web-based 
control panel tools that allows users to customize 
and generate brandable toolbars for download. 
Therefore, this idea could definitely become a profitable 
possibility for publishers and would be a dream come 
true for many!
Still, there remains one small nagging problem. 
Implementing such a product will mean that Google will 
have to share search revenues with publishers. Of the 
reported $1.098 billion dollars generated from Google 
owned sites in the final quarter of 2005, how much is 
Google willing to share?
