What a great idea! For paying accounts, PicoSearch is an ad-free
system, and does not impose or manage ad banners anywhere in the search
engine results. However, if you want to manage and sell your own ad
banner system, then this should be no problem for the Professional and
Premium search accounts, using the results page templating.
If you are selling ad space, you presumably already have CGI calls to
rotate your banner displays. So just embed your banner script call into
your template (see your account manager's Customize Template feature).
The additional trick to get keyword sensitivity will be just to pass the
current query as an argument to your banner call system. As with
making a custom search box in your template, you need to grab the
current query by adding the keyword _FORMQUERY to your template.
_FORMQUERY will be filled in whereever it appears with the current
query.
Thus, your banner rotation call with keyword sensitivity might look something like this:
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/bannerrotate.pl?query=_FORMQUERY" alt="ad banner" />
