    Yeah the real money isn't in just doing a few searches a day but more working as a team and building up your downline you can do this but talking to your referrals and helping them and giving them ideas on how they can get referrals too.

    Now we need to have a discussion about how much is enough to switch from Google to Yahoo. The idea of using Yahoo daily makes me a bit sick. The only people I know that use it are my parents and I don't think they would make me much money. Good luck though!

    Google wouldn't allow it. Google has strick rules about incentive clicks and you could say that paying someone to search would also send incentive clicks to Adwords advertisers. Because if they were not getting paid the user would probs not of made that search in the first place.

    So i'm guessing that there won't be any paid for searching on google then? :p
    Anyway, does this program (homepagefriends.com) will last forever?

    To be honest Google dont need to pay people to search, as lets be honest there search engine is overwhelmingly superior to any of its competitors.
    So i think the chances of a Google version is highly unlikely, unless of course they launched one of there own ( unlikely!).

    Personally, after a little time getting used to it, i dont find Yahoo! all that bad, i find most stuff with it first time.
    So for me the incentive of around £10 month from my searches is enough for me to make the swap, and i think many people will feel the same.

    Yeah that's exacly what I thought, Ask, Yahoo and MSN and all the other search engines need to come up with creative ways to get back at Google I mean really it wouldn't change anything if Google paid you to search because their the market leader you will find the majority of people will happly search Google for free.

    Homepages Friends started out providing a similar service to just charities, this charitable arm of there business is called "WhiteBox".

    It is only in the last year they have gone public, and offered the same service to everybody.

    More info on the company can be found here:

    Well, Yahoo seems to be doing better than before.

    I can generally find what I need using Yahoo. And if I can't find it, I just turn to the Google search right next to it on my toolbar ;)

    Don't know if would be any use buy you could try whitebox because even if they are not the right people to contact I'm sure they will pass you onto someone that is.

    I got bounce back everytime I email that email address. Just wondering why...?

    My second question: Why everytime I search on the Yahoo box on my HPF page, the resulst is shown on a new window? How can i set so that the search results appear on the HPF page?


    My third question, why the title of this thread is "....ask.com"? Not yahoo.com?

    My fourth question, i am still wondering how can Yahoo pay HPF for every page (in return they pay members)? The results shown based on SEO, not adwords, meaning the advertisers don't pay any single cent to Yahoo.

    Hope to hear from expert.

    Thanks !
