Increase AdSense Search Revenue by Pre-Populating Search Box

Disclaimer: I do not believe this is in accordance with Google's AdSense terms of service, be warned.

A thread at DigitalPoint Forums describes how you can realize a 500% Increase in revenue from Search. Basically what the AdSense publisher did was pre-populate a keyword within the Google Adsense search box.

Is this legal? Probably not, since you are not allowed to modify the AdSense code in any way.

Yeah, it againsts the TOS. But I've once used it (before I realized that it violated the TOS), and it does increase my Adsense for Search earning.

If it helps increase your revenue, presumably it would do the same for Google. So why not suggest it to them as a feature they could include?
