Winzy.com - Search and Win!

Most everyone has done an internet search, and chances are, many of you perform several a day or more. We all know and use Google or Yahoo, the established players. How about trying Winzy? The clever ploy behind this new search engine can be found in the name: Win-zy. With Winzy every query you run gives you the chance to win. And the prizes aren´t half bad. On St. Patrick´s Day you could have won a green 4GB iPod Nano. In April the grand prize is $1,000 and you´ll qualify for a chance to win the hefty sum of $100,000. There are three ways to win. 1) Win by searching: if you happen to search during the right time, you´ll win automatically.. 2) Win by referring friends: If your friend wins a prize you´ll win too. 3) Win by earning points: Each time you search Winzy you´ll earn points which enter you into the monthly drawing; this month the prize is $500. The best part is you don´t have to register to win.

“Winzy is a search engine where you can win free prizes. Every search on Winzy is a chance to win! Just use Winzy to search the web, the same way you would use any other search engine. If you´re a winner, you will see an alert to let you know what you´ve won.”

The money and prizes premise will definitely enthrall users. It´s simple to use, and because it is a search engine, just about everyone can use it; it´s got mass market appeal.

Unfortunately each household can only claim two prizes a month, and this applies only to the USA and Canada (desolee Quebec, you´re not included either). These kinds of gimmicks only go so far. The real appeal will wear off quickly and users will move on to better search engines.
