Get paid to search Google!


Hi guys, came across this site which has been discussed extensively on moneysavingexpert.com. Basically the website (mysearchfunds) gets paid for each google search you perform through them.
You can signup and integrate their search engine into Firefox and Internet Explorer or set their search page as your home page. It doesn't affect your searchs and although its about 3-5p per search, it mounts up if you use google all the time and you won't notice anything different - why not, just use the internet as normal and come back in a few months.

Anyway I get 10% of the earnings you make if you signup underneath me so I would be grateful if you would use my link. Btw people have had payouts by paypal so its definately not a scam.

Here's my link (hope its allowed) and let me know how you get on!
Signup to My Search Funds!

Re: Get paid to search Google!


ah ok, I'll PM a mod now to remove my ref link although I thought theres no point people signing up to the site without going through a referral. Works just like normal google engine and apparently thats how mozilla firefox is able to make money, they get paid for each google search users perform.

Why? The only person it benefits is you by going through your referal.

I signed up a few weeks ago without going through a referal and it has benefitted me. i am up to £2.50.

Re: Get paid to search Google!


When I first started i tried the method of integrating google, but I didnt get paid for any searches, so I use their own search engine as my homepage and this searches, google, ask, yahoo and msn

That's a tad selfish It doesn't affect you in the slightest but benefits me.
On the question of searching through google, its only recently that google has become the search provider and before it was ask.co.uk which is pretty useless. Once you signup (please use the link in post #1), you can intergrate the search box into your existing browser or use this page http://www.mysearchfunds.com/myhomepage.asp?OrgID=XXXXX
(replace the xs with your ref ID)

Re: Get paid to search Google!


Sorry, I wasnt having a go or trying to start an argument, I can see how it came accross the wrong way. I was just asking why it was pointless not signing up through a ref link as sign up through a ref link only benefits the referer.

No offense meant.

Re: Get paid to search Google!


none taken, understand where you're coming from. It's good cause it's free money really and if you forget about it and then suddenly you get a paypal transfer, it feels all the better. Anyway for real money you need referrals and such, so if anyone's interested in signing up, feel free to use the normal link or PM/MSN msg me for my referral link.

You don't make loads with this unless you do loads of searches a day. I think its 3p a search (although some people have claimed 5p) and if you leave it enabled and forget about it, theres no point not having it i suppose...

Re: Get paid to search Google!


I have been a member of "my search funds" from 20/01/2008, my number is 2047, but there are about 90 thousand members now, there has been a lot of problems with the amount of people getting "click fraud emails", and having their account suspended for taking it to extremes, but it seems to of calmed down recently, as for 3p - 5p per search, it has never been as high as 5p, when I first started the best it ever was, was 3.06 pence, and it was only downhill from there, now you are lucky to get 2.11 pence per search, that makes a big difference to how much you can actually earn from the site, if you get referrals sign up via your link, you get 10% of what they earn, but that comes from "my search funds" cut not theirs.

And I have been paid twice so far,
20/3/08, £12.18
15/4/08, £21.88
