| Full Review |
I stumbled across this site one day when I was looking around at my "get-rich-quick" sites. I am one of those people that loves to use the sites on the internet that will pay you to click on a site, or have you read an e-mail for a nickel or more. So, when I bumped up against this site that would pay me to click on web-site links, I jumped right into it. The site is located at www.searchcactus.com, and you do not need any prior qualifications to sign up for it.
Signing up for the site is very easy. There is a link on the front page, and once you have entered your basic information (name, address where your check will go, and an e-mail address), you are ready to begin earning money on the site itself. Now, there are three main ways that you can earn money on SeachCactus. The first way, is that you get money for any searches that you do on the site. They have a large search engine, that to use you simply type in a word that may correspond to something. An example would be "cars". The site then searches and pops up a bunch of links. If a link as a little eye beside it, it means that they will pay you to click on it. When you go to that site, you are supposed to stay for at least 20 seconds to get credit for it. For every 25 searches now, you can make 1 cent.
The big catch with the searches, is that you can not visit the same site more than once in a 24-hour period. So, if a site turns up more than once in your searching of their database, you can only visit it one time in that day. Also, it is sometimes difficult to find a lot of sites that pay on given days. Some days I will go into the site, and find lots of links that will pay me, and other days it will take a little while to search for links that will work well for me. Some ones that have worked well for me are: cars, computers, internet, site, paid, health, entertainment, and credit. Try these words, and you will get some links to click thru.
The second way that you can earn money on the site, is by signing up for special offers or programs that the site offers. Like most internet companies, they get a fee for putting companies business on the site. What these businesses do in turn, is give you offers in the hope that you will sign-up with them. These offers include credit cards, book clubs, other internet sites, and even banks. By signing up for these offers, SearchCactus gives you a set amount of cash in return. For each offer that they have, they also tell you how much you will be getting to sign-up with them.
The other main way that you can get paid on this web-site, is through referrals. Now you can earn additional cash by telling your friends about SearchCactus.com. Refer as many friends as you like and earn 25% of their earnings (excluding the sign-up bonus and quick cash income). The referral program is simple, there are no limits on how many people you may refer, or how much you can earn! Also, Get 5 entries to win a Porsche or $50,000 cash for every new member you refer who activates their account. So, the more people that you get to sign up under you, the more money that you can pull away from the site.
Members of the site are paid on a monthly basis as soon as their account has reached $20.00. So, if you take into account just the searches at 25 searches x 1 cent per day you get 30 cents per month. This means, that you will have enough to cash out in 1 year. That is less than two years, and I find it very nice to do with internet sites if you can cash out in less than two years. It is also very easy to cash out, because the site does it for you as soon as you have reached that $20.00 level by the end of the month. You are able to see your updated balance on your member page, and it also updates as soon as you have made a search. At the top it shows how many referrals you have, your referral income, and even how much you have made off of your sign-ups on their programs.
I have found this site very easy to use, and I have always been able to get to the total 40 cents each day. As I stated earlier, sometimes it might take a couple of minutes to find a site on the search-engine, but they are there :) I recommend this site, because it is so easy to use, and it seems that the benefit is quite good. I have not quite reached my cash-out point on the site, but I have a few friends who have already been able to cash out and have received their checks. So, this is by far one of the better sites out there now.
