Wow, well I knew one of these days that I'm come across a good money maker that I'd missed. Well this is that moment.
Rather tragically, I came across MySearchFunds.com some years back and ignored it (I forget why, but I wasn't on my quest for money making ideas back then).
Well MySearchFunds.com, which has now changed its name to Homepage Friends (a rather naff name change if you ask me), pays you to search the web. This used to be through Google, but they have recently switched over to Yahoo as their search provider. But nothing really changes.
You goto your search page (set as your homepage for ease) e.g. mine is:
http://www.myhpf.co.uk/mypage.asp?OrgID=87564
All the then have to do is use the search box to search with Yahoo. The results are no different to Yahoo's normal results, and you end up with about 2.4p (that's about $0.048) per search.
At the rate I'm going, I'll have about £250 ($500) this year from the site... that makes my quest for a few dollars here and there and lot easier!
One key point here... in my experience it seems you only get the credit for searching from your official page. So if you want to search again, go back to the homepage, don't use the box on the results page, as this doesn't appear to credit your account for the additional search!
UPDATE:
Since this post was written, this service has been replaced by Search Lotto. Search Lotto offers free UK National Lottery, or EuroMillions lottery tickets for searches that use the Yahoo engine. This means you have the chance of winning millions of pounds just by changing the default search engine you use.
