Shawn Collins posted an article in which he highlighted the general aspects of PredictAd’s search solution. With a PredictAd powered search you can basically achieve an interesting goal: provide a well structured, auto-complete search field and earn revenue from some relevant yet non-intrusive pay per click ads which are to be found among the auto-complete results.
Don’t think even for a moment that it’s a big deal to implement PredictAd on your blog. This neat search script can be integrated within your blog in a matter of seconds as it natively supports TypePad, Blogger and of course WordPress. For example i downloaded the plugin for WordPress (yes, it’s compatible with WP 2.5), filled in my unique ID and i was ready to go.
PredictAd also generates decent reports regarding search queries and so on. As far as the payment methods, currently they are sending out only checks.
There are numerous customization options available just to provide a seamless integration with the rest of your blog/site. For example, check out my custom search box :)
Feel free to start monetizing your search and join PredictAd, or if you are an advertiser you can publish ads via their program.

Hi—Dan:
I have a few questions on this:
1.) How long before you were approved for ads on PredictAd?
2.) Did you create a search engine? or use default one.
3.) Is this compatible with Adsense?
It isn’t so easy if you want to monetize it. There is alot of customization and configuration needed, but if one can figure it out, then it should be another excellent monetization tool.
