More Web Searching Rewards

Going along with Nicki's last post about Bing, there's a site called 'Swagbucks' that also gives you rewards for searching.

From this website, I got a basic description of Swagbucks for you.
It’s easy as 1-2-3!

1.Search the web as you normally would using SwagBucks.com search engine. You’ll get results from Google.com and Ask.com.
2.Swag Bucks will be periodically awarded to you as you search. You can win up to 50 Swag Bucks with a single search and on Fridays you can win up to 1000 Swag Bucks with a single search. You can also find and redeem Swag Codes (many of which will be hinted at here at WeLoveSwagBucks) which will add to your Swag Bucks total.
3.Redeem your Swag Bucks for prizes ranging from gift certificates for Amazon, Target and iTunes to televisions, video games, iPods, movie, music and sports collectibles, comics and books, and much much more!

I am normally highly skeptical of this type of internet thing because they are so often full of junk mail, don’t pay out, ask you for way too much personal info, or just take too much time, but SwagBucks.com is really working for us. I have used Swagbucks for several months and already been able to redeem my digital dollars for 8 Amazon giftcards, which I've used for a couple of books for the kids and myself, and now I'm saving my Amazon cards to get Evelyn her very own camera.

Here's where you come in. When I gain friends, or people who join swagbucks through my links, Swagbucks matches the first 1,000 points earned by those friends. It would be awesome if you sign up with Swagbucks.com right now and start earning money for us both, doing one thing you do occasionally anyway; searching the web. Just click on my banner below to become my friend!

Bing Cashback

If you do much online shopping, it might be worth your while to shop while using MS search engine "Bing". Bing offers "cashback" through several retailers. For example, I recently made a purchase on overstock.com. Rather than typing their address into my browser, I did a search on Bing for "overstock". When I clicked on the link, Bing offered me 15% cashback on my purchase (if I paid with PayPal). Anyway, it sounds complicated, but it really wasn't. Again, it's worth trying if you shop online.
