Prizes For Web Searching

SwagBucks.com Lets You Score Big Just by Searching

— January 28, 2009 — Marketing
Ever want to get something out of nothing? Well this time you actually can! Swagbucks.com is a new search engine that allows you to collect prizes JUST from doing what you regularly do on the internet: searching and shopping.

By using the Swagbucks search engine (powered by Google,) you can earn Swagbucks that can be spent on prizes like Xbox 360s, Apple iPhones, Giftcards to many major outlets like Macy’s and Barnes and Noble and much more.

You can also earn Swagbucks from shopping online from thousands of retailers including iTunes, Walmart, Frederick’s of Hollywood and Footlocker.

In a recent initiative, Swagbucks also began encouraging consumers to go green. The website is currently gathering used cellphones to be recycled safely and will even pay for the shipping. In return, they will grant the donors Swagbucks to use towards prizing.

Swagbucks.com also offers many tailored websites for sport fans, music lovers and gamers, so you can earn Swagbucks towards the things you love most.

As well, Swagbucks.com currently has a Facebook fan page and frequently releases free Swagbucks codes and special prizing.

And the best part - it’s legit. Unlike some internet sites that claim to send you prizing by signing up with them, Swagbucks.com actually follows through.
