Get paid for doing searches with Google (seriously)

Post by Guest »

Ok, so theres a site where you register and get paid (via Paypal) for searches you do from that site's homepage. You get paid $0.02 USD for every search you and your referrals do. Now, they really do pay you, here's my account:

And the money they sent me via paypal:

Here's a link to register there, it refers to my account number by the way. After you register, get more people to refer with your own numbers to get paid for their searches, as well as yours. Thanks for reading.

How many searches did you have to do to get that 62$ approx? (Too lazy to count it myself). And how many referals do you have so far?

Do you have to search for different things?
Is it possible to get an auto clicker and some sort of random text generator that would put it in the search bar and go for days on end and make you rich?



Or at least rich enough to buy more computers to do the same thing?

You have to search different real keywords every time, well, you can't use the same word more than once per day. You are restricted to 40 paid searches per day, though u get money from when ur refereals search for stuff.

I've been doing this since March now, they pay you around the 15th of the month.

Yea, where is the advertising happening? Surely there's advertising involved.

This is a similar 'pyramid scheme' type as Foo would put it. :paranoid: The maximum you can make by yourself a day is 80 cents so to get a good amount you would need lots and lots of referrals which then makes this the same as any other 'get money or prizes on the intardnet'.

You have lots of friends = could make $ 200 or so a month, if those people regularly use the service too.

If you have a small amount of referrals or none at all it's not worth it.

Apparently the guy running this thing brings in 75k a month... :icon20:

Err... someone explain to me what this company does?
You make a search and then ... they get what? What do they do with the results?

These type of deals heavily rely on referrals... need a constant stream of people registering to keep it going. There will be lots of people with good referall numbers, but there are also more people with small or no referalls... (those that where referred esentially) - so to keep them interested in the service and not have them run off they need to find their own referrals, so unless you have a constant stream of people signing up the numbers start to dwindle, which in turn make the service shaky to begin with.

I wonder if this has anything to do with adwords? I could see google paying some company to have people clicking on adword accounts just to get the click rates up.

Google gets $1.00 per click and google will pay this company 10 cents which this company will pay the person actuall doing the clicking 2 cents

I see it's scam,,, the person actually buying the ad isn't really attracting any real buyers. just ppl getting paid to click on ads.

I'm pretty sure that's fraud.

No, but your referall does, and he needs to find a stream of his own e-friends to register otherwise they leave no?

I give it a year or so before the guy makes less and less and runs off leaving everyone dry... once all the forums start banning people for posting 'free money! register here!' and this stops being the new flavor of the month. :icon26:

It says on the netbux homepage that you can purchase your own referrals, not sure what that does but that's what I meant. If the service shuts down the money you spend on 'buying referrals' is now probably gone, I'd doubt if they would offer a refund.
