Winzy is a variation of Google search designed to pay you to search. They are funded via the sponsored ads in the search results and give many prizes such as iPods, Amazon Gift Certificates or even Ca$h! It works like so: 1. I need to search on Yahoo! or Google for a new Timex watch. Instead of searching on Yahoo! or Google, I simply type in "Timex Watch" and I'm off! Here, why don't you try it now?

Once you make a search, you have a chance to win. Each search generates a point. Points can be doubled by getting the 100% spam-free Winzy Toolbar. Downloading the toolbar, regardless if you keep it, will automatically generate TWO (2) points for every search. Each point is worth an entry into the monthly $1,000 drawing. Points can be gained or lost through games on the site. The site suggests using Winzy as a search engine rather than attempting to win using multiple searches. Another handy feature is the referral program. If you are referred by someone and you win, they win too (That means me!)! And when you refer someone, and they win, you win! So, if you want to add a little spice to your searches, why not try out Winzy?
