All of us use search engines to search for information and relevant websites. You have probably stumbled on this lens by clicking on a search result. So which search engine do you use most of the time? Google? Yahoo? MSN? Other..

There are some search engines, that rewards the users for searching through them. The reward could be cash, entries in the sweepstakes or vouchers.

Scour is a paid search engine that uses MSN, Yahoo and Google to obtain results. Members are encouraged to search, vote and comment on the search result.

Scour decides relevancy of the site for that particular keyword through members' votes. After a site gets enough votes, it is ranked high or low which makes listings across all the engines more relevant on Scour.

1 point for Search
