  • Here is a site that has a list of search terms you can follow. There is a program you can download so you can upload successful paying terms you get back to the list.

    Full disclosure - it's my site and I wrote the program. The more people who report terms the more useful the lists will be.

    Thanks guys.

    Kinda. It's real simple. After you search the title of the window you're in changes from something like "Google search" to "Spandex kittens - Google Search". My program just trims the title of the window down and then sends it via a google form to those spreadsheets on the blog. The spreadsheets have scripts running in them that turn the search terms back into hyperlinks (and remove dupes and old entries).
  • Has anyone had any success with the above Qmine programme?

    I have a MAC so I can't try it at the moment. Trying to get hold of an old Windows laptop and when I do I'll get it up and running and give it a go.

    For now however I've given up on Qmee for now as the effort is just not worth it. I managed to get 26p the first couple of searches I did looking for a pair of North face waterproof trousers when I first downloaded it and now a week later and around 15 - 20 minutes a day since has yielded nothing more. I'm just searching as I normally would and nothing.

    I'm not convinced the Qmee app is working properly on my MAC actually.

    I only started using it 10 days ago, its yielded about £1.15 in that time so as you have highlighted not great but I was searching anyway so its free cash in that sense

    what does your screen look like when you have no paid links available? Do you still have the strip down the left hand side with the green Q at the top, or does that only appear with paying links?

    That only appears for paying links. I don't get them that often either but like has been said, I was searching anyway so I'm still gaining something.

    Just cashed out another £2 odd, I find searches that pay every single day, at least one or two, few extra quid a month is always appreciated :)
