Earn a Little Money Whilst Checking Your Bing/Yahoo Rankings

One of my websites (http://freeswagsites.com) contains reviews and user guides relating to Cashback and Reward websites (Swagbucks etc).

Swagbucks is a nice way to earn a "little" extra cash if you have spare time - I don't use it very much at the moment as I am busy creating content for my sites. (I used to earn about $60 per month spending about 1 hour per day answering surveys etc. and if you are struggling to pay the WA monthly fees, this might be something to look into)

However, I still use the "Search facility" to earn points that can then be converted into Paypal cash, iTunes vouchers etc.

Although the search bar is branded as "Swagbucks", it actually uses the Bing/Yahoo engine under the hood. This morning it suddenly dawned on me that I could use this search engine to check on Bing/Yahoo competition and my own keyword rankings whilst getting paid to do so.

Swagbucks is free to join and you can also get paid for referrals.

Obviously, I won't put my own referral link in this blog post since that would breach WA rules. There are plenty of referral codes on the internet if you search for them and you get bonus sign-up points if you use one as opposed to signing up directly with Swagbucks. Just don't fall for the "sign-up here and get $1,000,000 bonus BS" that some idiots put on their reviews.

So, I just thought that I would mention this little tip since when you are not yet earning enough affiliate commissions to cover your WA fees, every little contribution helps.

Good luck

PS. I think that it's ok for me to mention my own site in the blog post since it's not an affiliate link, but if someone thinks otherwise I will remove it.
