Swagbucks.com is a search engine that offers you the chance to win cool prizes every time you perform a search. I’ve been a member for… oh about 15 minutes now and have already racked up 3 swagbucks. Well, to be honest they give you 3 swagbucks for free when you sign-up. But anyway…

A guy in my office says he scores about 12 swagbucks a week on average that he redeems into Amazon.com gift cards. Those $5 gift cards cost 45 swagbucks, so basically he’s earning $5 a month just by routing his normal google.com search queries thru swagbucks.com. This is pretty good for a light searcher that he seems to be. I’ll report back in about a month’s time with my own personal tally.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of prizes up for grabs in the Swag Store. They have books, albums, electronics, collectibles and many more categories to choose from. If you just can’t find something you want, do like my buddy did and redeem into gift cards, and there’s a bunch of those to choose from as well.

Oh yeah, and to make thing alot easier, you can install a browser plugin that makes swagbucks your browser’s (Firefox FTW) default search engine. Can’t get any easier than that.
