    Not at all. This has to be the most unobtrusive way of earning a little extra cash I've ever come across. I use Google all the time and used to have a Google search box on my browser. It's now a My Search Funds box, yet it still takes me to Google. Nothing has changed but the name of the box and the fact I'm now being paid to search.

    Don't expect huge amounts of money and don't try to cheat the system are the best two pieces of advice I can give you.

    As for those who are not trying to cheat the system but have still been suspended, perhaps send them an email to ask why?

    Crikey, well that doesn't sound too good. I wonder why it's happening? And it could all too easily turn pear-shaped if this kind of thing happens quite often. I mean if you search normally, build up a good pot of money and then have your account suspended just before payout...

    I haven't been with them long -- not long enough to be paid out, anyway. I'm hoping it'll work out okay, but the adage 'chickens' and 'counting before hatching' comes to mind. Ah well, at least I don't have to invest any time or effort into it. That is to say I don't do anything extra during my normal day. If it works out, it'll be a nice bonus.

    I've had a couple of emails about click fraud from them but so far havent had my account suspended, I tend to do about 25-30 searches a day mostly while im at work.
    Since it changed to yahoo last week I dont tend to find the same quality of results I used to which is driving me batty to be honest, but for when Im at home and know the sites i visit regularly are found its not too bad. Looks like I'll be dropping it at work for the time being.

    Sorry i have many problem with My search funds...the first problem is the contact, i try to send an email (10/06) but i don't received an answer by them. The second problem is the frozen of update of my account. Since 11/06 the money isn't updated, only the search count is updated. One my refereal have the same problem.
    I hope the site will solve the problem and will pay...

    Another question about search engine : what time i may wait to make a new search? I often wai 5 minutes, and Iclick at least 2 link on the site searched. The first day i made undred of researched, but now I make few research because some account was been banned, and because some of its click was been deleted. How to make more search in the least time as possible?
    Sorry for my english.
