Search and Win at SearchChips

SearchChips is another search engine, like Blingo, that gives members a chance to win prizes for searching. But it also works like a rewards site, letting your earn chips for doing things like making purchases, searching, getting other people to sign up, completing offers, etc.

Instant prizes include Amazon and Fandango gift certificates, iPods, PSPs, etc. and the prizes available in exchange for chips include iPods, a digital camera, or a PSP.

So the prizes are pretty cool, but they wouldn't be worth it if you had to spend all day wasting your time (and possibly involving yourself in a click fraud scam) doing search after search after search at some lame PPC search engine. SearchChips is powered by Ask.com, and delivers results that help you find what you're looking for.

I've also created a search plugin for Firefox if you'd like to add it to your search bar. Just download the script file and the graphic file, add them to the searchplugins folder for your Firefox profile, and you'll be ready to start earning chips as soon as you restart Firefox.
