I came across a new search engine portal that actually pays you. They started this year and aim to knock off Google one day. Do some searches on it? Every time someone does a search including myself on my personal portal, I get credits which go towards purchasing a top keyword position. The link is http://www.searchbigdaddy.com/nickgrb

They offer pay-per-click money as an incentive to use its search engine. Free Members are initially presented with $50 in Pay-Per-Click currency (free advertising dollars) to promote their Web sites and appear in search results.

In addition, free affiliate members receive their own exclusive Search Engine Portal

Pay-Per-Click Currency can also be used to secure Keyword Top Positions. This allows the advertiser to dominate a particular keyword or phrase for one full year. Keyword Top Positions open at the top of the search results in a unique iFrame.

The advertiser Web site is already open in the iFrame, so the searcher does not have to click on the listing.

They also pay cash to affiliate sponsors. You can study that for yourself at Search Engine Portal

What I like about it, its (people doing searches) targeted traffic not popup junk. This could be a useful tool to drive traffic to your websites.
