I was doing my clicking thing and came across Scour, a paid to search site. I was looking at how it works and how it pays. It looks pretty interesting. I use google to search as lots of people to so I'm wondering how can you make money from searching with Scour? Is it a reliable search site? Will I get the same information I get with Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft? How long does it take to make pay out? Should I join? BTW-I will be your referral if you convince me to join using truthful information.

Hi i am on scour i have been using but i dont trust it though i heard some bad things and no payment proofs.. I would reccommend Myhompage friends about £0.02 per search and payout is £25.00 ive seen payment proofs of this and is more reliable so join up on that . My ref link is on my profile if you want it. Oh another one like this is swagbucks if your interested again more reliable than scour.

swag bucks bit like scour you search and get points BUT its more like winning points! You search and sometimes you get lucky.. if you search hotmail and get a swag buck you probably wont get anythin for the next search. Just log in again after a while and search. You can get prizes like amazon vouchers and stuff 45 swag buck points for amazon $5 3200 for ipod.. 100-200 for games

It looks like you have to make 6500 unique searches. Searching for eg. 'mylot' everyday won't get you anything more than the initial 1 (+1 for rating / +1 for commenting)

Aahh so unique searches are part of the terms correct?

I think so. Maybe someone else can corroborate. Mine just didn't seem to go up when I searched things I'd searched before. I say "didn't" because I got bored of using scour, and annoyed at the way it puts every linkpage in it's own silly scour-bordered window.

I was reading the answers to your question. It seems like this is one that I could miss. I would like to make money on searching and this is something that I might look into in the future but as for right now I am going to skip it. I have too many things going on at the moment. I like to do searches online though that;s for sure.

i guess my search funds is the best in pay for search kind of sites...i ve joined it and done around 700 searches and have earned around 6.5 euro dollars and its yahoo search(they have 3 year collaboration with Yahoo) so i am sure of me getting the payment but they are slow in giving payments but they really pay...i would be delighted if you join under me over there..Thank you for your query

I don't really know but I will check it out. I know people do internet searches on a private basis for money but how well they are paid I cannot say. It obviously can be a paying thing with the net being as huge as it obviously is. I think this might be worth trying.

ehh, it looks ok, it looks fairly secure with its layout and faqs, but i think that homepage friends (myhpf.co.uk) is more reliable but if u wish to join it, go for it and please tell us if it is legitimate.

I somehow heard that they are a scam? so i have jumped over to My Homepages Friends.. they have quite a good reputation!

I don't know too much about Scour but I do use my homepages friends which pays 0.02 pence for every search and payout once 25 pounds is reached. They pay either via paypal or straight to your account so as far as I know it can be beneficial for US users as well as I would have thought paypal do the conversion for you. If your interested in this site there's a link on my profile. Warn you now though if you search too quickly and try and con the system by carrying out unnecessary searches you will be emailed a warning that your account will be terminated if this happens again...so only use for proper searches.

I am from Asia and I think scour will do no good for me, I have just gone through their FAQ section and it pays only $ 5 for 50k searches thats really gross, SO I don't think I am going to a join scour. May be there are better sites which pays for your time :D
