« Microsoft Pays You to Search

In an attempt to lure people to its Search Engine, Microsoft announced a plan that will give a rebate to searchers who search for products through Live Search and make their purchase at a qualifying vendor.

microsoft live searchWhen you search for a products, you will see links displayed that have the little graphic shown here. Make your purchase through one of those links and you will be credited with a rebate sent to an account setup by Microsoft.

Not sure if something like this is enough to boost Microsoft Live Search up from third place in the Search Engine war, but I think it is a pretty cool idea.

    I doubt it will help Microsoft very much, but you have to admit that it is a pretty cool way to get people interested in the Microsoft search engine.
