Switching to Swagbucks

Author: Paul

18 Jul

I have officially given up on Blingo as my primary search engine. A few months back Blingo switched from the Google search algorithm to a combination of Yahoo, Ask.com, and MSN. This has resulted in inferior search results. I was hoping that I would not need to switch because I really enjoyed winning prizes every once in a while for doing my regular web searching. So without further ado I introduce (drum roll)

SWAGBUCKS

Swagbucks uses Google and Ask.com for its searches. Having the Google search as its backbone makes it a much more useful service than Blingo. There is a small difference with the way this program works when it comes to prizes. Each search you do gives you an opportunity to win Swag Bucks. I have earned as many as five at a time but usually I get one or two. These bucks accumulate and allow you to “purchase” prizes. I have been using this service for a couple of weeks now and am up to 20 swag bucks. You can get a $5 gift card to Amazon.com for only 45 Swag Bucks. Depending on which gift cards you choose a swagbuck is worth between eight and eleven cents. Not a bad deal for just switching to a search engine that gives you the same results as Google

[...] I love it when my favorite rewards programs are all paying out at the same time. Just last week I earned my first gift card with Swagbucks. It came lightning fast. It was the fastest I have received a gift card from any program that I have been a part of. So props go out to Swagbucks (to learn more about Swagbucks click here). [...]

[...] SwagBucks – This one is still my favorite. I earn enough off of my personal searches to earn atleast a $5 gift card every month and I am getting paid for something I do anyway (plus when you refer someone you get matching points for their first 100). For a complete explanation of this program click here. [...]
