The Google AdSense ads you’re using are “Pay Per Click”, so it doesn’t matter how many impressions you have if no one is clicking the ads.
It may seem odd that your site had over a thousand impressions without a single click, but in this case I think it’s believable.
You have a single adsense unit on the front page. It’s small, with only two ads. Because there’s very little text on the front page, the ads are very untargetted (I’m seeing one for “used cars” and one for “video software”).
It’s very hard to get clicks on a search form page – people are there to search, and it’s highly unlikely that the ads you show them _before_ they enter their search are going to be relevant to their needs. They’re much more likely to click on an ad on the search results page, where the ads are relevant (and they probably do). However, you’re just forwarding visitors to search results on Google, so Google keeps any money from clicks in the search results.
If you want to make money from those search result clicks, you need to keep the visitors on your own site. Perhaps you should look into a more customized solution using the Google Search API or AdSense for Search.

They don’t pay you for your own clicks. They check your IP address and every time you go into the site, it remembers you and wouldn’t pay you for your visits. OIt only pays REAL clicks.

Web_developer is right.
The number of impressions means the number of times that the ad has been refreshed – meaning everytime your site is loaded a different ad appears (theoretically speaking)
As web_developer said you don’t get paid for the number of impressions you get paid for the number of clicks
And again – like web_developer said – its kind of hard to believe that with a lot of impressions you haven’t gotten any clicks. For my own adsense pages I try to get at least a 10% click rate – doesn’t always work out that way but it has happened.
One of the best ways to get a good number of clicks is to treat your site as a manual. Think of a magazine or tv that has a certain subject in mind – they have their content but they also have commercials or ads relating to that content and if people are interested then they go buy the product or at least want to find out more about it.
That is the same way that you have to look at your site if you want to optimize it to get the most adsense revenue that you can.
