Get Paid For Doing Web Searches

in #presearch6 years ago (edited)

This is a project I posted about in the past but wanted to revisit it since they expanded what they are doing.

The search market is estimated to be worth around $100B annually to Google. That is a huge chunk of change.

Of course, recent news is emerging that Google might have been tampering with the results to help Hillary curry some favor with voters. No matter what one's politics are, I think most of us would agree that Google manipulating results to help a candidate without of the knowledge of the general public shows an abuse of the power they wield.

Hence, one of the answers could well be decentralized searches.

That is what we have forming with Presearch. This project is designed to disrupt the search industry.

Using the PRE, the Presearch token, is meant to reward people for their searches instead of a centralized entity taking all the profits for the work of the masses.

The team just introduced a referral program that allows both the referrer and referee to earn extra tokens.

Here is the deal...Each person referred will earn both parties 25 PRE. The two conditions is the one referred needs to maintain good standing for 60 days AND earn 100 PRE through searches. Each search is worth .25 PRE and one can earn up to 8 PRE a day (32 searches). One can tie it into Google, Bing, or whatever search engine one likes (I use duckduckgo).

The project is at the phase where Presearch is building their index to use to establish the search. It uses an interface that ties into other search engines. Over time, they will bring out their own search, probably within 2 years.

Here is another example of where we can support a project that is meant to decentralize something that is presently controlling us while earning us some money.

Again, please use my referral link and we both will get additional tokens.

Finally, PRE is listed on coinmarketcap.com. The project is already advanced to the point that the token is traded hence you can see the value as it grows. The token is prices around $.25 at the moment.

Consistently pays off on this. I started with Presearch back in January and am closing in on 1,000 tokens. Obviously this is not a ton of money but it does not hurt. Over time, if this project is worth 1/2 the annual revenues of Google's annual search, this will be a multi-dollar token.

That is a nicer chunk of change.

To me, this is a worthy project to get involved in at this level. Using the interface to do searches on a search engine that you already use while getting paid only makes sense. Plus, each search done helps them in building their index.

We are learning lots from you @taskmaster4450 ... Manna, Swiftdemand, VIT, Presearch and more.. Thanks for your hard work and adding much value to the crypto world.. Please keep up! :)

Pretty cool! Guess who just signed up and claimed it's first 25 tokens! It may be a waste of time or one of the best decisions of my life. Only the future knows! haha

I have got the plug in for firefox so that it sets the interface automatically when I open up a tab...I simply enter the site I am going to in the box and it takes me to the search engine.

When the tokens earned this summer are released, they will have automatic liquidity.

At 25 cents a pop...what the heck...it all adds up....I am hodling to see if they pull anything off.

I'm a bit wary of browser extensions but I did set it up as the default search engine.

I wish we could get paid for our search engine.
Have you tried presearch?

I started using this on my home computer after your last post @taskmaster4450.

  • I've not really studied it. So, do I have this right? Someday there will be someplace we can actually trade these tokens? but not right now...?

Thanks in advance...

@wizardave, they had an ICO last year so there are some PRE tokens out there and available for trade. Then there are the tokens you earn for searching, which are the same PRE tokens, only they are currently locked in to your Presearch account until summer. Some people have tried to game the free token system so t he Presearch team wants to make sure they take care of this before releasing those free tokens.

Aha! That makes sense. Thanks for that info @summertooth.

  • Always gonna be gamers, ain't there? SMH

Gotta love FREE stuff!

Thanks for sharing this to the community, I have been using just over a week ago and its quite kool.
Give it time and it will be a disrupt to Google

Yeah, this is definitely a great project! I have signed up back when you first mentioned this. I have around 400 tokens collected so far.

Great...they do add up...

I find it very easy to do them...the interface come up when I open up a tab.

Yeah, I made it so it would open up presearch every time I open a new tab as well. I mostly do so many searches throughout the day, I easily collect those 8 PRE.

Hi @taskmaster4450! I started useing presearch for my searches when you shared it with us a few weeks ago. I think I would gave clicked on your affiliate link. It's great to use! And fun to see the coins build with each search! I think i have earned around $45 tokens. It's cool it's trading now. Thanks for thinking of us and sharing useful tools along the way!

This is a pretty interesting project! I see that each coin is worth $0.25, so by maxing out your searches you can get $2 each day, which is a pretty nice sum for doing what you would already be doing. And if the price increases as more people start using it, it might very well be worth the time it takes!

Best regards from @valth

That is the idea @valth.

I started doing these searches back in January and the price of PRE was about 70 cents. That was over $5 a day for doing searches. The PRE market crashed along with all other crypto so it went way down. But I keep accumulating tokens (as are others it appears). If the price does jump back up, it is a nice amount pulled in for doing, as you say, what we would already be doing.

It has some potential and is a great way to acquire tokens since no money is put in.

Not bad at all! I just signed up, so in about 99 more searches you will get your referral bonus ;)

I think I will just try to make a habit of using it, and just hodl the coins without worrying much about the value. It's not like I miss out any anything by using Presearch instead of just going directly to Google anyway.

Thanks for letting me know about this project by the way!

There is a plug in for firefox which makes it default to presearch when you open a tab.

And the bonus is paid not only after 100 tokens (400 searches) but also 60 days.

Ah, I mixed up 100 tokens with 100 searches. But 400 searches within 2 months seem doable. I already got the Firefox plugin, but I also wished it would change the search bar in the top right corner to use Presearch, because that is what I'm mostly using when I want to Google something.

We are at the beginning of getting paid for using services....you predicted this!

What an awesome idea! There hasnt really been alot of competition to google over the last few years... I hate how they dominate the industry so majorly

1000 tokens? Well done.... I installed it after you first mentioned it back in Beta and I'm just closing in on 400 tokens.... I've made over $100 USD just from literally doing nothing different but setting my browser homepage up as Presearch....

Isnt it amazing....now that is moving towards the Age of Abundance.

You are being compensated for doing what you have done for the past couple decades. Web searches are a part of our daily lives yet we dont make anything off it....now we do.

For all of us, I hope this project succeeds.

Ill try it.

How to get paid ?
@taskmaster4450

You earn PRE tokens simply by using Presearch instead of any other search engine you would normally use (like Google, bing etc.) Every time you enter a word into the search bar you get 0.25 PREs until you reach the 24 hour limit of 8 PRE (the next day you can again earn a max. 8 PRE and so on)... It's really simple ;) You just have to register!
If you want to you can use my referral link (or any other referral link) and you will earn an extra 25 PRE tokens for using the referral link to sign up ;)

Wow thanks for providing me with a new way to earn some extra money, signing up as we speak.

Presearch definitely is a good project signed up last month..

I really respect this breakdown of cryptocurrencies, I have done a similar breakdown but from a slightly more humour based point of view, please feel free to read it, and laugh :-)

Upvoted :-)

Good informative post..
Thanks a lot discussion about this valuable news...

Sounds good, what a great opportunity for decentralization. Thanks for posting this.

Oh man If I could tell you how many people and sites have launched with this same formula and failed over the last 15 years I would run out of time

It might be a bit different with a crypto though, since the coins can be created, instead of the company having to share ad revenue.

Nice post @taskmaster4450, was just about to post my link but you beat me to it! Glad to see you get this out there though.
Every Presearch search chips away at the google stranglehold!

Great solution here. A web for the people by the people.

the truth I recommend it for me in the last month or so and I already have 107 pre although they are not yet giving the toker but soon they will be given to those who participated @taskmaster4450

You had me at duckduckgo
Thanks for sharing this dude!

God I already love it. It's freakin intuitive!

sounds like a nice idea

Oh boy, we sure love to shoot high in the crypto land! :)

And yet again, progress begins with a series of crazy "what if we do this?" followed by "let's do it!". Amazing energy and creativity!

I signed up through your link, does the 25 PRE bonus count toward the 100 needed, or do you need 125 total?

No I am led to believe that it is get to 100 and then earn the other 25...of course that will be applied after 60 days which means if one gets the 8 tokens each day, there will be a lot more than 100 tokens earned by the end of two months.

I've been meaning to give this a go for ages @taskmaster4450. it's amazing what a few free tokens will do. I've now signed up through your link! 😁

good post

Signed up and did my first search! I also installed the chrome extension.
I am surprised to find there are actually two chrome extensions for it. They work slightly differently but both very convenient! I was going to link the extensions until I thought you guys can "presearch" it haha

The world is changing so fast with blockchain technology, it's hard to keep up sometimes, thanks for sharing man!

Interesting idea. I'm signing up now under you and will try it.

Some time ago I wrote a python script to perform automated searches in presearch (I still don't know if it works correctly), I'll have to dust it off and try it out
