Redirect Google?

[Ric_]

Best way to do it is a rewrite rule on your proxy - CLEO lot should be able to do it.

It would be the best way but the box is a cachepilot!

Wow, $8. That's almost half a pizza!

Where do I sign up?!

[SteveBentley]

Don't you only get paid anything when somebody clicks the links in the ads, not merely when they are displayed?

[boomam]

Yeah.

I just checked with our finance officier here as i wouldnt have minded doing something similar here, as the money could be used as extra revenue for IT parts.
But the finance officer thinks that there might be some sort of legal problem with a school doing that, as we're not ment to make a profit. .

Not making a profit is not the same as not having income.

It's only a profit if you don't spend it

Im still to hear off the powers that be here, but it doesnt look like they're gonna allow me to do it.
But they let other support departments make profit for materials in other ways...? .

We sold our old PC's to the community years ago to help pay for the new ones. There was nothing illegal about this. Not as if the IT department were planning on paying for a holiday with these raised revenues.

If using Google in this way was illegal, it would also mean you can't have fund raisers and all that malarky. Hell, it would mean your Science department couldn't even sell pens anymore.

squid + squidGuard.

Create a blacklist for google.com, google.co.uk, google.cn (we have many a chinese boarding student) add redirect to your own search, apply to squid.conf, and squid will see the site as blocked and redirect to the "naughty" page, which in this case is our own search page.
