Homepages Friends - Get Paid to Search on the Internet

Yesterday when I read at the DigitalPoint Webmaster forum, I found a topic that caught my attention. The topic's title is ‘Get Paid To Search Yahoo’. A lot of members of the forum participated in this discussion. People are asking whether this is a real program. How it works and how much they can earn? And those who have experienced this program posted some helpful information in the discussion thread.

From reading the discussion, I found that the program name is Homepages Friends. It is actually a new name of a former popular search program called My Search Fund. Homepages Friends is paying people for doing regular web searches using Yahoo. But, I'm not sure whether Yahoo is behind this program. The pay is about £0.01 - £0.02 for each search.

Homepages Friends Website
Homepages Friends can be accessed at http://www.myhpf.co.uk. The homepage of www.myhpf.co.uk is pretty simple. It is a sign up page containing not much info. Anyone can join the program immediately on the sign up page. If you have questions about it, there is a link to the FAQ section.

Is Homepages Friends Paying?
Homepages Friends started on April 2008 and before that it is called My Search Fund. My Search Fund has kept a good paying record. The site always pays members who reached minimum payout. And for Homepages Friends, some satisfied members claimed that they have got paid several times. Also, a lot of people are giving positive opinions about this program.

How Much You can Earn?
Homepages Friends estimates that the average users regularly searching the internet could readily earn about £50 per year. If you are active in searching on the web, you could earn more than £10 per month. But, I would suggest you not to over do it. If you purposely make extremely high amount of searches (a hundred or more) daily just to boost up your earning to maximum, they might suspend your earning.

When You will Get Paid?
Once you have reached the £20 minimum payout, Homepages Friends will issue payment 45 days after each month end. e.g. If your search earning for January is $25, then you will get paid in the mid of March. You can choose to receive your earning via Paypal or bank transfer.

Conclusion
The program is definitely not for people who want to earn big money as it can only make you an extra $10 to $20 per month. If you enjoy making some extra bucks while searching on the Internet, this program is right for you.
