Scour-More than just a paid search engine

Tweet

I have been a member of Scour for about a month, and I have found it very useful, in more ways than one. I thought that I should come and share with you guys what a wonderful site this is. Scour mixes the Social Networking 2.0 wave with search engines, creating a site that is great for all people that want to earn money on the internet. The main bit of Scour is the search engine. You get points for each search that you do through this site while logged in. This isn't like most of the sites that you have seen under the "paid-to-search" genre, where the results are from who-knows-where. At scour, you get results from the three top search engines on the internet; Yahoo, Google, and MSN search. They tell you the page ranking in each search engine for each of your results, so you can make sure that you go to the most popular sites for your information. Also, with the search engine, you get to vote on each result. When you vote, you are telling the community which sites are good to go to, and which are bad. Furthermore, you can leave comments about the sites as well, so you can tell others in the community about your good or bad experiences with a particular site. Searching, voting, and commenting all are worth one point. Now, for the social part. This is not just a search engine, but a community. The comments you create are read and used by other members in the community. You can create a profile, featuring your interests and doings online, and add friends. Finally, there are a number of social sites that you can bookmark scour onto, letting everyone in your friends lists there know about scour. Finally, there is a referral bonus. For every person that you refer to scour, you get 25% of their points toward your balance (sound familiar?). You can cash out once you reach at least 6500 points, which translates into a $25 Visa gift card. Out of all the paid-to sites out there, this one really takes the cake. I am so glad to have found this site, and I hope you will be too.
