Bribes to Use Live.com Search

by brad 1. October 2008 18:03

Live Search is mounting a campaign called "SearchPerks" that gives you points for web searches!  For 1100 tickets (where one ticket = one search), you can get a t-shirt.

If we place the value of a t-shirt at $10-11, this mean you get paid about 1 penny every time you use Live Search.    You can earn a maximum of 25 tickets a day, or about 25 cents in real money. You get 500 tickets just for signing up, so you can earn a t-shirt in about three weeks.

Or ... you can take quarters out of your coworkers desk every day for three weeks, buy the same t-shirt, and keep using Google.  Maybe I'll sign up for SearchPerks, raid coworker desks, and get two t-shirts!
