Although not strictly a guaranteed way of making money online, WabbaDabba provides many Internet searchers with the opportunity to win various prizes instantly on their website.
WabbaDabba is a search engine powered by Yahoo which rewards random Internet searches with prizes ranging from Amazon vouchers to plasma screen televisions. These prizes are rewarded at certain times during the day simply for using their search engine.
WabbaDabba earns money through the search engine provider (Yahoo) and so this is how they are able to fund these excellent prizes. The search engine works fine with no kind of pop-ups or nasty spyware, you can simply use WabbaDabba how you would use any search engine. If you win a prize you will be instantly notified on screen. The more times you search with WabbaDabba the higher your chances of winning a prize, though you are limited to 150 searches per day (I doubt anyone could really search that many times anyway).
Another great feature of WabbaDabba is the refer-a-friend plan – if one of your referrals wins a prize, you also win that same prize! So if you were to refer someone that wins a Nintendo Wii from searching, you will also win a Nintendo Wii!
Although you aren’t actually guaranteed to earn anything from using WabbaDabba, it does still provide more excitement than the standard search engine would offer, and it is sure to be very popular amongst the many Internet search engine fans.
Matthew, that’s a clever implementation. After all, Google and others have affiliate programs where you can post an ad box on your site and earn directly. This removes the need for all that fussing about and monetises an activity that people engage in naturally.
