Pay to Search Site: SCOUR

SCOUR is a new search engine that actually pays you to search. It's a great idea, even though it takes a while to get paid. By this I mean, I don’t use it for hours a day trying to make a living out of it. I just use it when I want to search something, especially when I’m writing articles. Why not let it add up if I’m going to do it anyway? Right? The concept is that Scour takes the top results of Google, Microsoft and Yahoo and combines them into 2-3 pages of results. You vote and comment on the sites provided. You earn points in order to earn cash. I use it for research because it skips over people's personal pages and such. It gets you to the nitty gritty of actual content relative to your search. I figure I am searching stuff every day anyway. Why not put a few dollars in the bank here and there right? I'm not interested in "working the system". It just seems like an added perk. I think it's great that people get to vote the results up or down. They have a referral system that works pretty good. If you can get a lot of referrals you’ll get points faster! If you do sign up with SCOUR like I did, take the time to at least vote a site thumbs up or thumbs down. It’s good to comment while you’re there, but if there’s a site that really doesn’t belong there…please help get it out of the search results! Good luck SCOUR! Feel free to visit my profile for more information on my website. Thanks!

It looks interesting. Thanks for the info. I am checking out the site by now. It is quite hard to read the link with the blue background :) Aha.. Too bad, my country is not listed there so I need 50,000 points for $5. That's forever searching :) Maybe for someone else. Have a nice mylotting
