How to Embed Google Custom Search Engine Results within Blogger Page

Go to Your Blogger Dashboard > New Post > Edit Pages and Create a Page
Write Search in Title of that page and do not write anything in post body.
Now Click on "Publish Page"

Now, Go to your AdSense Account > Adsense Setup and click on AdSense for Search

You will a get a form with few options.

Select "Open results within my own site" and enter blog URL as http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/p/search.
Write 800px in "Enter Width of Results area" box. You can not write less than 795px.
Select whatever option suits you in "Ad Location" section. I will suggest you "Top and Bottom"

Accept their Terms and Create custom search engine.
On the next page, you will get TWO javascript codes.

The First code (highlighted in blue) is Search Box code. Paste this code where you want to place your search box.
The second code (highlighted in light pink) should be placed on the page where you want to display search results. i.e. you should paste this code in page we just created in blogger with title "search".
Simply, Go to Blogger Account > Design > Add a Widget > HTML/Java Script and paste theFirst code.
Go to Blogger Account > New Post > Edit Pages and edit the page with title Search
Now, click on EDIT HTML and paste the second code.

Publish Page. Its done!

Fixing Width of Page Where Search Results are Displayed

Go to Blogger Account > Design > EDIT HTML
Search for this code

</head>

Replace this code with

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "ENTER-URL-OF-PAGE-HERE"'>
<style>
#sidebar-wrapper {height:0px; visibility:hidden; display:none;}
.post {width: 800px;}
</style>
</b:if>
</head>

Save Template and its Done!

Note#1: Replace ENTER-URL-OF-PAGE-HERE with your original blog page address where search results appear such as http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/p/search.html

Troubleshoot: If does not work for you, Replace .post with #main-wrapper in the code you added to your template and save. If this still not works for you, leave a comment.

Initially Blogging was used only as a medium of expression and to voice your opinions and thoughts. Nowadays , blogging has become money making online activity which can generate a reasonable amount of income. If you have the flair and passion to write, you can start doing the job you like while earning money at the same time. There are five ways to earn money from your blog. They are:

1. Google Adsense

A popular way in which you can earn money blogging is with Advertising. You can refer to Google Adsense and Amazon Associates for this purpose. This is the most common method of earning from a blog. Once your blog becomes well known and is well-received in a particular niche, it is possible to sell ad space on your own blog. For lesser-known blogs, services such as Google’s Ad Sense or BlogAds enable bloggers to establish ad programs. AdSense pays you based on how many readers click on the ads.

2. Affiliate programs

Another way to earn money from your blog is with Affiliate Programs. You can choose from many available online. Pick one that is free to join and pays a good commission for your referrals.

3. Help sell others’ products

Affiliate programs enable your blog to serve as a link between readers and online sites offering various goods and services. One popular choice is Amazon.com. For example if you offer a book review in your blog, an affiliate program will provide a means for your readers to click directly from your blog to Amazon to obtain further information about the book. If they charge their card, you get paid as well.

4. Market your services in your blog

Many people think that blogs are exclusively used to voice your opinions. Blogs are an ideal venue to share your thoughts with others, but we should not overlook their capacity to generate new business and income. You can mention references and what you do to the person reading your blog. That will spread your opinion and your business at the same time.

5. Selling an E-book

If you enjoy writing, you may consider selling an E-book on your blog. You can write about a subject you have much knowledge in or interview and expert and turn it into a book. You will need to learn how to create E-books and there are plenty of resources online.
