Hello,

We are going to start a custom search engine that will use google
search API.

The problem is - search API has a dayly limit of 1000 queries.

Is there a way to increase this limit?
We can pay for it or show adsense banners on our search results.

Actually, while there was a query limit on the now-deprecated SOAP
Search API, there is no such limit on the AJAX API. Rather, the AJAX
API is limited in that it will only return a maximum of 32 results
over 4 pages (i.e., 8 results per page) per search query. So if I
search for "jellybeans", I can only ever get the first 32 results from
that search.

You can do just about anything you want EXCEPT re-order the results
and/or intermingle it with your own stuff (or someone else's, e.g.,
Yahoo!). Look at the documentation for some really great examples:
