Earn money from normal searching

Homepages-FriendsHow long you’ve been punching in those keywords search in your internet browser(s) search box?. Even for me, I can’t remember how many searches I’ve made. Think of the first person who have their hands first laid on Google Search engine way back in 1997. That’s a lot of searching, don’t you think?. Thousands or millions of non-stop searching on the Internet.

If we could convert those searches into cash wouldn’t it be great. $-)

Now we can do that with ease and the simple process will take a minute or less to setup in just 3 steps. No controversial add-on or external plugin that contain Adwares, Malwares or Spywares hiding inside. Unlike Google Desktop Search, you don’t even need to download any software to install in your Windows desktop or taskbar. Much like Adsense for Search except you need to install a small live tracking plugin to your current Internet browser search-box. And you can continue to search like you normally would and monetize your search at the same time.

Sounds great!. What kind of web search service is it?.

It’s called Homepages-Friends ( formerly known as MySearchFunds )

Homepages-Friends

I decided to give it a month trial run, just to see whether the program does work or not. I don’t need to pay any registration fees except my time. 😀

You can see the sample of my account screenshot ( refer Picture A ), I have made an amount of GBP 1.64 from 204 of searches in a month ( April till May ). It ain’t much but I earned something for all the searches I did in a month. Earnings are in UK Pound Sterling and if you change that in US Dollars, you will get something like *GBP 1.64 -> USD 3.23702 ( XE Currency Converter ). I don’t do that much of searching like some people who can do 1000 or more searches in a day.

April to May earnings

Next, you can see the results of my daily searches are converted to the amount earned.
