I’ve created a WordPress plugin that creates a CSE from the blogroll. It can be found here: http://vrypan.net/log/2007/09/30/google-cse-v01-wordpress-plugin/

It’s still alpha, but is’s working fine (as far as I know). Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hey, great post. It's the first time I've seen your blog. I'm absolutely thrilled about Google CSE and have made several myself. One gaining increasing popularity.. - GoDark.us I'd put a lot of thought into using Adsense along with my Custom Google Searches, but had decided against it thinking it was pushing the envelope. But I appreciated your post as it is making me reconsider. Good stuff.

Hi Andy,

Your blog is quite helpfull.
I created http://www.coopdir.com a few months ago. It is a niche directory for google coop cse exclussively and its free of course.

Take a look at it and give some feedback.
Thanks

I always assumed if you accept people into a shared project, in some way the earnings are shared, but I haven’t read much on it.

A lot of information on Google CSE can be found in the Google groups. I monitored the groups for a few days at launch, but it was extremely high traffic so eventually it became an unread tag in Gmail, and eventually I unsubscribed.

Matt Cutts in his review of Co Op mentions revenue sharing handled by Google itself ? Anybody know anything can’t find it anywhere ?

Did you notice that the search result was a tag page? I have discussed this about other search terms such as “wordpress training” but that is not the only term I am receiving traffic from.

Sorry I had to delete the link to an erotic stories search engine. Too close to porn for many affiliate programs I might belong to and use on other sites.

It is probably best to drop them a line.

An alternative would be to use their API, though I am not sure if there is a version without advertising.
