"I was able to get this working "fairly" easily on my cooking blog. I've even made some money by people clicking on ads. Not sure how good the user experience is. A lot of people probably don't realize they are clicking on ads,…"

"It is good the way it is. If we display comments to the email then people will no longer need to come back to the network unless they want to reply back to the comment. When Ning made the changes to include the message text on the email, my network…"

"Phil, i understand well the first step and get the code from Google and put in a text box, but how can we do the next things that you propose and you did in Creators Network. - Get the results to a new page and the most difficult.. - ... change the…"

"I have a fully public network. The Google search is quite good, but it has also been picking up old search-result pages from previous searches done with the Ning search system. Why this happens I don't know. I guess Ning stores all the old…"

"Let's not give up on Ning's own internal search system! In principle it is very good to have feature-specific search functions, such as the search on forums x all categories, or the search on all forums x all messages, or the search on…"

"This is also my best case scenario. I can monetize my site with the Google search box and the results are better compared to the NIng search."

"My network is setup to only show the main page to non-members and require them to login in order for them to see the other content. Does this mean that I'm out of luck?"

"Hi Chris, If you have a public network, then you can do this; we've done it here on creators so that the search results include content from the network and also from help.ning.com. The first step is to create a new page that will contain the…"

"Yes I did. The question I have is how to determine if the members have actually purchase new credits. The store statistics shows the gifts (with credit) given by users but it is not really clear if those gifts were purchased using the free credits…"

"This would be great. I tried putting a search box in a text box on the front page and also tried one in the right column, but the formatting was difficult. It also led to two search fields on each page which was confusing."

"Hi Laura, In regards to the Virtual Gifts, how do we know how much earnings have the virtual gifts made? I was looking at my store stats and it shows that there are some gifts given by some members but not sure on how to check how much have my site…"
