Homepages Friends is a weirdly named site, that at first look may appear to be a scam. I’ve been using it, (out of curiosity) for a few days now, and the earnings from the site have started to pour in.

Basically, you register quickly, and get your own homepage. On it, is a Yahoo! search box. All you have to do is use it like normal; like you would Google or Yahoo! itself. The results are identical to Yahoo!.

Every search is recorded in your account however (not the actual keyword), and the next day, the number of searches will add up to earnings. The site pays fairly well; 2p for every search. It soon adds up, and the real way to start monopolising is with friends. When your refer them, you get an additional 10% of everything they earn, plus 5% of anyone they refer. Once your account reaches £20, you can request payment by PayPal.

Being paid to search actually, is something Google should be doing. They earn buckets from searchers like you and me, through the millions of pounds made in Ad revenues.

If you want to give the service a try, click here. It’ll sign you up as a friend of mine, and I’ll get 10% of the amount you earn (It won’t affect your profits). Leave a comment if you do!
