Swagbucks Searches

Since I spend so much time at home and in front of my computer, I've found a lot of interesting and fun things you can do online.

One of my favorite recent discoveries is SWAGBUCKS. (You'll see my new Swagbucks banner on the right.)

And what is it exactly? It's a search engine/rewards program that awards virtual or "swag" bucks to its users which you can redeem for a whole lot of stuff like clothes, school supplies, electronics, and my favorite, gift cards! The easiest way to earn "Swagbucks" is by using its search engine, instead of Google or Yahoo. Think about it. Google and Yahoo earn so much money from its users but do they share the wealth? Swagbucks does! You don't always earn with every search but you can get awarded anywhere from 6 to 11 Swagbucks at any given time.

And if you want to earn more, they've got free offers you can complete, surveys you can answer, videos to watch, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I've also found the Swagbucks toolbar to be especially useful, and I often earn just for using it!

Now I'm normally very wary of websites like these but Swagbucks doesnt require any credit card information. All you have to do is register for an account on their site. So far, I've only been using it for two weeks but I've already redeemed a $25 gift card for restaurant.com. And I only need a few more swagbucks before I can get a $5 Amazon Gift Card. Gift cards for Paypal and Barnes and Noble are a bit pricier but with a little patience I'm sure I can snag one.

Why not give Swagbucks a try. After all, what do you have to lose?
