SlashMySearch is back!

After 5 days with the servers down, SlashMySearch is finally back. For all the users who tried to join the website, I'm sorry for the delay, and I hope the downtime is over for good (they were updating the servers after all, so there should be no more problems).

SlashMySearch pays you to use their search engine (which is a quite good engine as it can replace Google or Yahoo, not just based on advertisers) and they pay you quite good.

SlashMySearch - Downtime for 4 days

As I said on my previous post about SlashMySearch, it was normal if the website would be down for some short periods of time, because of the huge affluence they're having on their servers, and because the program is still in beta. However, I was kind of frustrated to discover the site down since March 10. It's not because of the earnings I'm not making there, but because the users of my blog trusted my review about it and, when they clicked on my link, it just didn't work, or the

"I'm sorry, some our site is currently under maintenance. Please check again later. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

message appeared.

Don't worry, though, this program is not a scam and the webmasters are really trying to fix the servers. When the servers are normal again, I will post an update here. Until then, please understand my position and, specially, the SlashMySearch position and accept our apologies for the inconvenience. And please, do try later, because the program deserves it.

AGLOCO - Viewbar Update

According to AGLOCO official blog, the Viewbar is coming around late March or early April.

Viewbar Update: Our lead tech development engineer is still in Shanghai with the Viewbar team (now seven engineers). Cutting to the point, the current release date is now between 18 and 39 days from today (between Monday March 26th and Monday April 16th). I am told this is all a function of the QA testing results.

SlashMySearch - Updates

If you have already joined for SlashMySearch, it's likely that you've already run with the "Technical Difficulties" webpage, that was showing for already two days. Fear not, it was due to the high levels of traffic they are getting, and they already fixed the problem, by moving for a more powerful server.

It's also true that the search rates have dropped considerably. I only can get around 20 cents a day (with still no effort at all), instead of the 50 cents I was getting at the first days. That also has a very simple explanation. They are still tuning their search engine, and, in order to give us something where we can continue to search, they used Snap engine. Off course, that engine won't bring them any money, but you can still earn some money by using the website. It's a matter of time, before they bring up their search engine again.

The final update is a really great one. Remember the high payout of 50$? Well, they've taken into account the various member suggestions to lower the payout, and they lowered it to 20$. That's a very reasonable value, as you can reach it within a month.

DonkeyMails

DonkeyMails is one of the most respectful Paid to Read website out there. Accepting members worldwide, and using a low 1$ PayPal or Alertpay payout and a fantastic No-Minimum Payout for E-Gold, was soon flooded by members. In less than 2 years (DonkeyMails has been standing since February 2005), they have made a fantastic mark of more than 100000 members. And they have successfully handled the member "flood", expanding their options (there are several games, like lottery, by using the money you earned) and they still pay their members.

I'm a Portuguese member and, although I don't receive lots of emails, I do receive more than 5 per day, averaging 3 cents per day. That's not as much as I earn with my-PTR, but I can immediately cash it out via E-Gold. They also have Paid to Click and Paid to Sign-up options that will certainly boost your earnings. I've earned my first dollar with them the first week I've signed up (thanks to the Free Paid to Sign-up offers) and I slowly increase my earnings every day by cashing out with E-Gold.

Paid to Search

You are paid to use a search engine. The money you'll make is based on your activity with the search engine.

SlashMySearch - Get paid to use a Search Engine

An exciting new opportunity has finally arrived. SlashMySearch is a search engine that pays their users for using their search engine.

It is true that search engines offer a big potential to advertisers. If you are looking for something on the Internet, companies want their products to be clicked first. And so, search engine advertising was born and it is a really effective tool for promoting products. Take Google, for instance, if you type a search, you'll notice the "Sponsored Links" at the right. And it's quite probable that you'll click on them and consider their offer.

So, SlashMySearch pays their users to use their search engine, instead of using Google, or Yahoo, or whatever search engine you are using.

At first, I thought I would quit the program in the first day. Let's admit it: nothing beats Google or Yahoo (or another big search engine), so why should I use a new search engine? I was afraid I would get poor results (only advertisers results). And second, I thought I would only earn, at most, 1$ per month.

Well, I have to admit it... I was very, very wrong.

First, I was surprised for the search results. They don't use Google engine, Yahoo engine. They are actually using the best engines and filtering the best results. Engines include: Altavista, Yahoo, Google, Excite and others. Plus, you can search withing Ebay, Amazon, and search for images or videos. All in one Search Engine. Plus, you get keyword suggestions and thumbnails for each result. And this all works quite well!

Second, I only used SlashMySearch engine for a couple of times the first day I used it. I was expecting to earn something like 0.001$. But no, I earned 0.11$. Wow, 11 cents with no effort at all... and I'm sure I could earn 1$ easily, not for month, but within one or two day!

The payout is very reasonable: 20$ via PayPal, considering you can reach it within 1 month, that should be the best offer ever.

This looks too good to be true, but, really, it is very good and it is true! The search engine is good enough to replace the big ones and you can earn money, and the best, I haven't detected any spyware or adware on this website (you don't even have to install a toolbar). Be aware that this program is still in a Beta stage, meaning that you can find some technical errors (like server overloading, wrong search results).
