Get Rewarded for Searching the Web

As with everything these days, there are several earn rewards for doing what you do anyway - search the web. If you have Google set as you default search engine change it to one of these great search and "win" sites. You get the same results as google.com and ask.com because they are powered by these search engines AND get rewarded in points to be redeemed for gift certificates or in cash! Swagbucks is my affiliate link. What does this mean? If you sign up using my link then I get rewarded. For this I say, "Thank you!"

• Swagbucks - The most popular currently, Swagbucks rewards you with points when you search using their search engine. Their searches are powered by Google and Ask.com. And you can earn 10 - 50* to even more swagbucks when you search. Additionally, Swagbucks runs promotions and promotional codes on other sites and is a great way to earn additional swagbucks. Once you reach 450* swagbucks redeem them for a $5 Amazon.com gift card. 500* swagbucks will get you a $5 Starbucks gift card. I signed up in the middle of February and as of today have 250* swagbucks. And you get 30* swagbucks just for signing up. So, what are you waiting for?

• PCH Search & Win - Publisher's Clearing House is one of the most recognizable names out there. They have been around since I was a kid; and that was a long time ago. PCH Search & Win is a search engine powered by Google and Ask.com. The first time you search each day you are entered into their current sweepstakes. You get 20 search chances per day to win great rewards such as $5 Amazon.com gift certificates, $5 Fandango movie tickets, $50 Home Depot gift cards, and cash. That is right, cash! I have been actively using PCH Search & Win since November and have won two $5 Amazon.com gift cards. Sign up today and you could be their next winner.
