This site was done in 4.7, and does not currently have the backward capability yet. The current module that was just produced is for 6.0 only.

Its a little buggy with the 'Garland' theme, but hopefully this can be fixed shortly.

Its a good way to try to monetize existing traffic, similar to how google adsense works, but this is a travel meta search engine (scrapes more than 100 travel sites to find the cheapest tickets). 50% revenue split, PPC, instead of PPS as normally done. Every search produces profit. Almost 1/3rd of all online purchases are travel related or almost 50 billion dollars per year. Some sites have built their business model around this tool!

I would appreciate feedback!. This is the first module, with special thanks to litwol!

great.. i look forward to adding more sizes of this module that can be easily put in the side bars or footer, or header. just so that they are less obtrusive, and easily mesh into the site's design.

yes PPC for travel is great. most are not designed to pay PPC, but instead PPS.

PPS is a lot more messier, and you do not monetize every search or click, only actual 'purchases'.
