Scour.com- The most innovative search enigine I've seen!

Discussion in 'All Other Search Engines' started by ogranville, Oct 7, 2008.

    I recently got an invite from a buddy about scour.com...I've seen tons of whack search engines, but I must admit that they do something unique....well if not unique they actually do it right.
    I'm able to search goog, yahoo and msn live in one search as well as comment and vote on the results- the users change the results over time I guess.
    They also give you points for everything you do that you can later cash in for money...that's cool, but the social aspect is the coolest component for me.
    currently it looks a little bare bones, but they're in beta and i'm sure they have some new features coming up soon.
    anyway, give it a shot and let me know what you guys think, use my referral link so we can both earn points http://www.scour.com/
    I hope this takes off, maybe it could be the next big thang!

    yea they have the viral invite tool like facebook has, if you import your entire gmail address book, all emails are auto checked, be sure to uncheck them all and only choose the people you want to invite, I almost blasted my entire friend list...

    Funny you mention Scour, I just signed up from a friend's invite...seems cool so far...I like the option to vote and comment on listings :D

    My friend was especially happy about me signing up, he kept raving about how cool it was to get paid to search hehe...

    Hey Everyone,

    This is Alex from Scour…we just wanted to clarify some concerns.

    We pay out for legitimate searches and contributions to our network. We have rules that we have in place in order to ensure that our users do not try to game our system. If we find that a user is, their account may be banned due to a violation of our community guidelines. This is often confused with being a Scam, as users with tons of invalid searches ask for a cashout only to receive a ban notice.

    The concept is pretty simple: just use Scour like you would any other search engine and you will be able to enjoy from the benefits…also if you read our blog you will see that we have paid several people already, here’s an interesting one…http://zombiemoney.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-got-paid-50-by-scour.html .

    The reward rate with scour is too low, better to use Homepage friends.You can access it from my sig link too.It pays by paypal.

    Search engine is intended for search not for voting or commenting. That's the use of blogs and forums like this.

    Scour only pay you in Visa gift card. You has to accumulate 6,500 points to be able to exchange your points with $25 Visa gift card. Searching gives you 1 point, voting in the same search gives you 2 points, comment on the same search gives you 3 points and a maximum of 4 points can be made with one search.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I looked at Scour awhile back and just looked again and thought it had improved a lot and am very impressed with it! I think Scour has a real chance of being at least a minor player and grabbing a small share of the market (even a small share is VERY profitable)....:)

    I will check it out. The link in my sig file has an interesting idea on search... classified ads/localized searches... and you get paid to post ads.
