Choose a Search Engine Over The Other in Scour and Still Get Paid

After a day of using Scour, I have to admit they have a very good thing going on. The fact that they have a clean eye candy layout and display results from the top 3 search engines in the world. The biggest thing that capture our attention is the that they pay you to use their 3 in 1 search engine.

Today I found out that you can choose to display results from only one search engine if you want. Since I been using Google for a long time, its my search engine of choice.


Start by going into "My Profile" and then click on the "Settings" tab. So by setting the Google Weight to 100 and the rest to 0. Then in the Google priority set it to 8 and the rest at 0. This way it will only display results from Google. I get paid to search with Google now. I wish I known about this when they first came out.

Get Paid To Search - Not SlashMySearch

I just found this very cool program that pays you to do what you do everyday, which is searching Google, Yahoo, or BING. They pay you 1 point for every search that you make while logged in at Scour. Every time you search for something it'll give you results from Google, Yahoo, and BING.

I found out about scour while clicking ads on ClixSense, what a great opportunity this is.

So the big question is how much money can you earn from this?
You earn 1 point for every search you do and 0.25 points for your referral's searches. I'll get to how much a point is worth right after this. You can redeem you points from three choices of fixed payout amounts, which is $25, $50, and $100. You also earn money when you leave comment and vote, which also earns you 1 point.

• 6,500 Rewards Points may be redeemed for a $25.00
• 12,500 Rewards Points may be redeemed for a $50.00
• 25,000 Rewards Points may be redeemed for a $100.00

Also an important thing to know is that you're limited to earning 300 points per day and credited from your first 100 searches, which is about 9000 points if you earn 300 points everyday for a month. Pretty cool right?

Here is something to get your excited:
I'm going to do 300 searches per day and my 10 referrals each do 300 searches per day.
Me - 300 points * 30 = 9000 points/month
10 Referrals - 300 points * 10 * 30 = 90,000 * 25% = 22500 points/month
Total Points = 31,500 points
So you can redeem $100 each month

Not bad for something you do everyday.

Who can join?
As long as you have a Paypal account no matter what country you live in, you can join and earn money. For people in the US, you can choose to get pay by PayPal or get mailed a Visa Check Gift card.

I don't know what people wouldn't want to get paid for search results. Get paid to search for stuffs.

Here is the layout of their pages:

Weekly Earnings Report - July 6th, 2009

This is the weekly earnings and traffic report for last week to see how it compares with the previous week. Doing this allows me to see if I'm doing better or worst. At the end of this post you'll see a link to the previous week's earning report

Green Color means it made more than the previous week.
Yellow Color means it was just added the previous week.
Red Color means it made less than the previous week.

(Paid-To-Click) PTC
Deal 'n' Dash - $6.91 ($6.36) +0.55
Hits4Pay - $9.88 ($9.02) +0.86
NeoBux - $4.00 ($3.35) +0.65
ValueBux - $4.00 ($3.73) +0.27
ClixSense - $13.80 ($13.61) +0.19
Total - $38.59 ($36.07) +2.52

Summary Of Earnings
Hits4Pay is my best money maker for this week because it made the most out of all the PTCs. I think I'll start promoting those 5 PTC to build up referrals. I notice that referrals stop clicking after a certain amount of time. It might be because they are too busy or just lost the motivation.

Traffic
Unique Visitors - 114 (109) +5
Returning Visitors - 6 (11) -5
Alexa Ranking - 887,796 (884,532) (+3,264)

Summary of Traffic
Traffic is still going up averaging like 16 unique visitors per day. I will try to post more often in an attempt to get my 50 unique visitors per day again.

JohnChow.COM Went to PageRank 0

I just went to John Chow's blog today just to see whats new. I have this add-on on my FireFox that displays the Alexa ranking and PageRank. I was surprise to see that JohnChow.COM got a PageRank of 0. It was PageRank 3 a few days ago. I wonder what was wrong with it. It's not surprising that Google constantly updates the algorithm of their PageRank system to calculate the PageRank of a website.

Obviously their is something wrong with Google's PageRank system, because John Chow has over 50,000 people subscribed to his feed. There has to be a usefulness of the website in order to have that many subscribers.

He continues make more money with his blog using Alexa ranking and commenting as leverage. It seems that advertisers don't really care that much about PageRank for his blog. Advertisers continue to pay him hundreds of dollars per month just to have their advertisements display on his blog.

I guess the point of this post is for those people that have 0 PageRank, just try to build your traffic, and try to get people to comment on your posts and hope that you can make 1% of what John Chow makes in a year with his blog.
