I’m going to pass on a link today for a search engine that you use just like google, but which randomly gives you “swag bucks.” Those swag bucks can be turned in for all sorts of things. What I do is turn in 450 of them for $5 amazon gift cards. I’m up to $60 – yes, sixty dollars so far in gift cards I’ve earned. I’ve already bought myself some books and a dvd with my winnings.
If you don’t want amazon gift cards, there’s other gift cards, prizes, etc. You don’t get spammed, there’s nothing to install, and it’s as easy as searching. I just do a couple casual searches a day. That’s it. There’s other ways to earn as well like shopping through their link, taking surveys, etc. but those are all optional.
They have a referral program so if you sign up with my link, you start off with 30 points and I share in your point winnings up to the first 1,000 points you win. The site is open to residents of the US, UK and Canada!
I’m about half-way to my next gift card but three of my friends who signed up have already maxed out on their referral points. (Because yes, it’s really that easy to get points.) So I need more swag friends! 
Anyone looking for a cool and easy way to earn some gift cards and such, please sign up with my link and do a few searches a day. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you too will be on your way to earning free gift cards.
(And feel free to pass along my link to anyone else you know who might want to sign up. *chuckles*)
