Do You Swag?
You know the feeling that it must be too-good-to-be-true? That was my thought about Swagbucks and the reason it took me weeks to sign up. Swagbucks is a search engine powered by Google that earns you "swagbucks" you can use towards purchases in their store. All you have to do is use the Swagbuck search engine to search for all the same things you would do on Google or Yahoo.
So what can you get with those earned swagbucks? Just about anything! My personal favorites are the gift cards to places like Amazon.com or Starbucks that I can save to buy gifts or use to get a free treat. I'm sure my husband would prefer I save for an Apple gift card for him instead. The list goes beyond gift cards, though. Baseball cards, ipods, collectibles, clothing, and my personal favorite, a GPS are just a few things you could buy. After only a couple weeks in the program I've almost earned enough for my first purchase!
So what's the catch? Other than a couple of ads at the bottom of each search results page your search is pretty standard. Of course, just like real cash, money burns the hole in your pocket and you're very likely to purchase those Swagstore items which is free advertising for other companies and potential profit when you use the gift cards.

Hi Julie! Ebates is very similar except they send you cash back! Whenever I need to order anything online, I always start there first. Nice blog, btw!

I have done a little with Ebates as well. I found them to be especially good for cheap printer ink. The nice thing about Swagbucks is you don't have to purchase anything to receive their prizes!
sounds great!
