Earn Money With A Search Engine!

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Today I am presenting to you 'Swagbucks'.

 

What is Swagbucks?

 

Swagbucks is a search & win website you can win anything on there its like Lockerz but a lot better, This system is no scam I have been using it and been buying Paypal Gift cards for myself.

 

How do I earn?

 

To earn money on Swagbucks you simply download the toolbar or firefox or IE addon and search as you would on Google or anything. Searching random things will not get you more. The more normal the keyword(s) is or are will get you more. You can earn 5 Swagbucks per day by searching.

 

Another way is gift codes the way in which you can get these is the full toolbar from the website and wait till they release one, Remember you have to be quick before it expires.

 

If you are a creative or have good ideas you can win 10 Swagbucks on a Poll by submitting your own poll to there email address.

 

How much is it to sign up?

Well most of these sites have a sign up fee though this is completely free to sign up and use!

 

Where do I sign up?

http://www.swagbucks.com/

 

Enjoy!

It is only available for users in US/UK and canada. So hands down for the offer. Anyway, residents of US/UK/Canada can definitely benefit from such offers.

So all I have to do is download a potentially dangerous, and definitely irritating, buggy toolbar from an unkown website and i can earn 5 of *their* dollars a day? Oh goody....Or i could carry on with my job and earn that same sum of money in about 45 minutes... I think ill stay here :)Moral of the story: dont trust companies that say they will give you stuff for nothing. They make money from you, in the same way you only have a job because a) the organisation needs you as a vital team member, or :o they make money from you. Simple as. And toolbars have a HUGE history of being full of spyware and definitely adware (Which i suspect this one contains) and every toolbar ever made makes your browser, and sometimes your entire PC so, so, so much slower, laggier and buggier than it was before you installed it. just get a job!!!

Shadowx, i found a way out of this. If people can install windows on virtalbox and run the toolbar from the virtual machine then many viruses and spywares can be prevented. Like if Vmware player is used then changes will not be saved as well, so that way we can help not get our disk into some risk of spyware or adware.

Totally agree, but this site has a good alexa rank(1809). Its not bad for such a site. Me either don't believe in such things. I can remember scour,an useless social search engine.

Don't go for alexa rank or PR as pointer for the site. For first alexa rank favors US traffic. so chances are there are many sites that have good alexa ranking cause of US traffic but not usable for rest of the world. Like spotify, which is high traffic site for US but useless for Asia and pacific users.Scour is complete fail and they failed to give their members their money or goodies they promised. they just got social searches data and they sold out and earned profit and now they shut the program now. there is no way people will trust scour now.

Now it's only those 3 countries again lol, looks legit then :)I've seen much of these goodies, but too bad that almost all of them are scam or for 'those three' resident.I wonder when will they look at my country in the far, far away galaxy..... Joking :o but yeah, even though some similar site offer international registration, but there's no, or few, things that international people can do to take their reward. How useless...

Well, Thanks Ash for telling us this!I currently am signed up to them, I left them for a couple of months as I just got really bored as the search engine was really bad.Recently I have come back to swagbucks and I must say it has improved by a huge percentage!As Ash said basically you can search & win, Earn swagbucks then redeem prizes, Which is a good idea!

I do find there search engine to be very useless, It says they use Google and Ask but still seems to be pointless. The only reason I use there search is for the Digital Swagbucks I need for Prizes :). I am glad to find this site that works and that's why I shared it with you guys :o.

Thanks for sharing the site with us Ash-Bash. Since it is available only for people from three countries it may not be very effective but I think there will be a few interested people on our forum. However I think the process is a bit shady - if I understand the process correctly, it gives you swagbucks only a particular time and what you search at that time will determine how much you get. So its like a trial and error game - you have to search at the right time in order to earn, otherwise all you're left with is a very bad search engine! The concept is good but on a large scale its not very practical and that' why I think they restricted it to only three countries. Ok so if you're earning well from it, keep it up :)

Heya!!! Yeah, I found swagbucks ages ago, but because I am not an US or a UK or a Canadian citizen I cannot use their service, which is rather sad because I have searched it up and it seems like Swagbucks is not a scam at all. Since then, I have been finding an international paid to search site, but I still haven't found one yet. :DWhich is rather irritating, because I search many keywords a day because of this... Oh well.. I guess it cannot be helped. Yes!!! first post since ages!!! I'm letting The Simpleton win this race, because I have my blog and mylot to tend to... :) Seems like I'm back into the making money online world again, getting those few bucks with my many hours of posting... :DWish I can get a real job soon, I'm not even meant to be on mylot. :o

Lol, why so ? don't look at mylot as cash earning resource. if you look that way you'll get bored like facebook and orkut. think of it as sharing information hub. that way you'll enjoy it more. Mylot is good cause we less socialize and more answer question without knowing the person and our answer becomes more professional unlike facebook/orkut where we hold back cause of relation we establish on them.

anyway, Search based social networks are completely waste though.

Yes its only in these because of postage and its free to sign up. The process does seem to take a long time they say a maximum of 10 business days :D. I do find it easier to get swagbucks on the search I have also won 20 swagbucks by submitting polls :o. I very much agree with your points.

Wish I can get a real job soon, I'm not even meant to be on mylot. :D

Same, But its good for a teenager or children even use it and its legal :D.
Thanks for your replies guys keep them coming in.

first of all, this thread should be in the making money online thread. it's a big thread with all the other get paid to do crap things. you get paid about $1 for an hour of your time and if you ever make over $100, you are one of the select few that has nothing better to do with their time. usually it's mindless teenagers that find these programs interesting because they don't know any betterbut if people ARE going to try and make money with these programs, the best way to do it is combine programs where you might actually have a chance in earning minimum wagei heard the search is for crap so why would anyone want to waste their time searching on an engine that doesn't give the best results?although i do believe the program is not a scam, it sure is a waste of time when their are better and easier ways to make money online or earn prizes. who the heck prefers prizes over cold hard cash anyway?!? with cash, at least you have the opportunity to choose exactly where YOUR money is being spenttime is valuable people. get that through your heads. if all you want to do is waste your life as something as inignificant as paid to program that don't even pay minimum wage for your efforts, how the heck are you preparing yourself for your own future? aree you even informing your parents what you are doing with your time online all the time? probably not because they could probably find something more usefull for you to be involved with.so basically, for some, being involved with these programs means you have to lie to your parents....then there is the issue if it is even LEGAL for a minor to participate in these programs because usually there are terms to be agreed on before participation which makes it a contract. a minor usually cannot enter in to any contract without parents permission. at least here in the united states.this isn't the first time i spoke out against these ways of making money online, nor will it be my last.again, if people insiste on trying to make some money with swagbuck, combine miltiple program. find the ones that compliment eachother so you can kill two birds with one stone and get paid double or even triple for your efforts. i still don't even support my own suggestion....but at least it's better than the pennies you would earn with any one program.i will also say, that any person who likes promoting these programs don't have a CLUE what they are doing online. they don't want to be the only clueless one so they get other people to sign up with them so they can all gather around in a circle and discuss how excited they are because they just earned a dollar.
