1. Why am I seeing SimilarSearch.net on my search advertiser dashboard?

Our technology powers custom search on several top sites on the internet. When a user makes a search on either this site or a partner site, or clicks on a specific search keyword unit on either, we may serve related search results in addition to ads from our trusted advertising partners. Our partners match ads to these search keywords based on how advertisers are bidding on them via their search advertising dashboard.

2. Why do I see a sudden increase or decrease in searches from SimilarSearch.net?

SimilarSearch.net powers site search on multiple large and popular publishers.

Publishers routinely decide to change their featured content and top articles on the homepage in response to topical changes in the environment or changes in the news cycle. In addition, certain news may get publishers to highlight related articles on their homepages and sub sections. As our related search units are relevant to the content of the articles, more people see and hence click on search topics related to these terms

For example, tax content is top priority during tax season. Similarly, educational content takes center stage during the back-to-school season. The onset of spring results in the prioritization of articles about pollen allergies on the homepage of these sites.
