    I am finding I am having to do 30 - 40 searches before I am credited with any swagbucks and then its only 7 each time.

    I don't understand that some people just use gonads or pelvic floor exercises and get high amounts, I use them and get 0 - 7 SBS.

    Just finding it really frustrating. How many searches do other people do before they are credited ?

    I don't quite understand the distribution of SBs after searches - I'm not sure there is a logic to it, just completely random. For me, it isn't about the amount of searches I do, but rather the timing - I always get a search result between 8-8.20am (in fact, just got one for Leeds McDonalds for 29sbs - :j - well surprised, its normally single figures for me!), then if I manage to get on this thread and someone's posted they've had another result, I'll try a few genuine search items. But I will typically get another at night - say post-8pm? I get dubs - 2 search results - every few days, but rarely triple or quad wins for searching.

    100 target for me today :eek: Lets hope some Dailies, Trusted and PL surveys come up. Yesterday felt like an effort for me - and I don't like SB days like that...but it is Friday, we're at the weekend, so let's enjoy it. And, people, remember to do your pelvic floor exercises :D

    It sounds like you are doing too many searches - try cutting back on them and search just a few times when you read people have got search wins.

    I think you're probably trying too hard. As maximus-leeds says, there's usually one first thing in the morning, I got 10 sb this morning for a search (I can't even remember what I searched now)
    Look out for when people post on here that they've had a search result then try again.
    I find most of the things I genuinely want to search for don't pay out but random searches (including swear words!) do which seems very unfair but there you go.:D
