Earn money with Yahoo search API
November 18th, 2009 by Andreas from Xavier Media®For a long time now Yahoo has been offering the best search API for anyone to use to build their own search engine (like XavierSeek.com) or any other online application using search results. Now they've also made it possible for you to earn money using sponsored search results.
A lot of developers have requested this from Yahoo, and it's a pretty natural way to go for Yahoo. By letting people use their search results in their applications and search engines Yahoo get a huge visitor base (even outside their own search engine). Now with the sponsored search results developers can start monetizing on the work they've spent hours and hours on developing, and Yahoo can also get a share of that 
To start earning money from this you have to first build your own application or search engine using the Yahoo BOSS API (read more about the API here). It's not that hard and in a later article I will tell you a little bit on how we built XavierSeek.com using the Yahoo API. Yahoo also got some sample code to show you a really simple way to use the API.
Once you've done something nice from the API, you need to sign up with Domain Development Corp (DDC). Yes, that's correct DDC. You're not signing up with Yahoo, but instead one of their authorized syndicators.
I don't really like the idea of using a third party instead of signing up directly with yahoo, and I'm little bit unsure about Yahoo's reasons for this. But it may not be that big deal, since DDC have been authorized by Yahoo so it may just be me being a little bit on the wrong mood 
When you've finally been approved by DDC you can start making money from your own search engine or application using search results
Have you used the Yahoo API for something cool? Please let us know by posting a link to it in this post!
