Swagbucks.com - Review and Tutorial

Possibly the most popular paid-to-search service is Swagbucks.com, a site made popular by its referral system. I remember a time on YouTube when almost every technology-related channel featured the site, touting their amazing prizes and earnings from such a simple service. But is it all true?

Swagbucks.com has been online for a number of years, and, while new ways of earning "Swagbucks" have been added, the same core feature remains; randomly earning by using their search engine. About every 4-5 searches, you'll earn anywhere from 5-50 Swagbucks. This currency can be redeemed for things such as Amazon.com giftcards, charitable donations, and even Xbox 360s and PS3s!

So how can it be exploited? Fairly simply, in fact. First, you can use VCCs (virtual credit cards) to complete offers run by Swagbucks. These can normally be purchased for $1-$2; add some money to them, and you can safely complete some offers! Expect to earn around 2500 SB for about 30minutes of work and around $5. For more information, look forward to another post published soon.

The second and less lucrative way to earn is by botting - automatically using the search engine at random times. If you are adventurous, I've previously coded a bot, and I left it unobfuscated for all to play around with: http://www.filesonic.com/file/1127141391/swagbucksbot.txt

However, I'd also recommend LIMES, by Darkness from thebotnet.com/. It can be found here: http://thebotnet.com/bots-of-tbn/53408-release-limes-4-0-simple-but/

Once again, Swagbucks is a great service to use if you're looking to earn money online through searching!
