Online Rewards: Blingo.com (Search-and-Win)

One aforementioned rewards site (my favorite) pays you just for searching the web, but it turns out there are others that do the same!  Blingo is run byPublishers Clearing House (the people who do the "Prize Patrol") and is another site that delivers on its premise.

If you use Blingo as your search engine, you'll automatically be in the running for some pretty sweet prizes.  You might win infrequently, but when you do it's an instant prize, not points.  Each search (up to 25 daily) is a chance to win anything from a $5 Amazon Gift Card to a Ford Mustang.  Even better, if you refer your friends and a referral wins, you win the same prize...even if it's a car!

Blingo combines Ask, Yahoo, and Bing.com search technologies so results tend to be pretty good once you get past a few ads which present themselves at the top of your results.

Since my favorite search-and-win site tends to work best if your searches are scattered over the course of the day, my recommended strategy is to start your day with this one, and switch over to Blingo after you win a point (since nobody seems to get search-points in succession).  It might seem complicated, but it's really not if you make use of the toolbars/embedded browser search functions that both programs offer.
