MyHPF is scam….. or not?
In many forum, I read many members write about MyHPF is a scam site and It doesn’t pay. Okay, Once it does pay but lately there many members claim that they are not paid yet.
Actually, I don’t really care about that.. So far I use both Yahoo and Google search engine. And I satisfied with both’s search result.
Back to MyHPF, is it already turned to scam site?
Here are three payment screenshots from MyHPF a.k.a My Search Fund.
So is it a scam site? It’s up to you to decide!

Paid to search: MyHPF vs Scour
MyHPF.co.uk and Scour.com, these sites want to pay their members by using their service which is search the web with famous search engine like Google or Yahoo. That is what normally do, right? How many times you search Yahoo or Google everyday? So… why doing it for free while we can get paid for it. When My friend introduced me to these sites, I Signed up without questioning “Is this really pay me?“. I use Google and Yahoo everyday and I search a lot. That’s why this kind offer is a not a no-no answer.
Paid to search is a very easy and simple task. However, you won’t earn big dollar especially if you doing it alone (without referral). Currently, I signed up with Scour and MyHPF for my paid searching activities. I will try to give honest review about those two.
MyHPF.co.uk
MyHPF (http://www.myhpf.co.uk) is new address for MySearchFunds. Until now, MyHPF has change the search engine three times. First, they use Ask.com then Google.com and now they use Yahoo.com. Personally, I like MyHPF better when they use Google because I do lots of Google-ing more than Yahoo-ing. They pay approximately £0,01 per search. And they have three level of referral. It’s mean you will get paid for every friend you referred and
also from everyone that your friend refer. If you have many friends, your earning will piled up faster. Unfortunately, they have high payout level. Current pay out is £20. It will takes times for one man show. Payment will be made through PayPal.
Positive value:
- 3 level of referrals
- High pay per search rate. About £0.01 per search
- Paying with £ which has better value than US Dollar
- All country allowed
- Integrated searchbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox
- Payment option: PayPal, Check and International Bank Transfer (IBAN)
Negative value:
- Payout is quite high. £20
- Delayed statistic page. User must wait (min. 1 day) to see updated statistic
Scour.com
Scour.com just launch its service last July. It’s still in beta. With Scour,
you can search Google, Yahoo and MSN at once and have the result in one page. I like the concepts that they have combine result from 3 major search engine and user can vote or make comment to result page. This will be nice addition for search engine result. We have human reviewed. Although it has good feature, I think Scour need to protect their vote/comment system from spams and trash comments. It will be pity if the systems can be easily abused by spammy dollar-seeker.
With scour, every activities (search-vote-comment) are counted with points. When user has reached their minimum payout, points can be exchange with Visa Gift Card.
Positive value:
- Search result from Google, Yahoo and MSN in one page
- has integrated searchbar for both Internet Explorer and Firefox
- Fast result
- All country allowed
Negative value:
- Payout is quite high. 65,000 points for $25
- Low pay per search rate. Less than $0.01 for every search
- Only one payment method. Visa Gift Card

Experiment with Scour: Search The Big Three to make money
What is you favorite search engine. Is it Google, Yahoo or MSN. How about you can get result from all those search engine with one time search? And also you can also can make money. How sweet! 
Today I begin my experiment with Scour. A new Social Search Engine with opportunity to earn money. Scour is still in beta but I see it has potential to grow bigger. So what is Scour and how it works?
With Scour, Goole-MSN-Yahoo are searched at once for your request. Results are returned very quickly. Form that result page, member enabled to vote and make comment.
Excerpt from Scour about how it works:
Ever spend time searching only to find that the results you need are buried under irrelevant ones? With the Scour voting and comment system, our goal is to introduce the human element of searching allowing you and all other Scour members to speak up and help shape the results with every search. See a result that doesn’t match your search? Vote it down? See a site that is exactly what you wanted? Vote it up and tell us all why you liked it. After enough votes, the listings will move down in rank, placing the relevant ones where they should be, at the top! When using Scour you can read user reviews about websites based on your keyword taking a lot of the guesswork out of searching and getting to you destination quicker.
In Scour, members are actively participate to shape better search result and all member can get reward for their effort. I agree with Scour decision to reward its member with points which are redeemable for cash. This is will surely speed up Scour’s penetration.
Curious about the reward?
Every member can get point for searching, voting, commenting and refer friends.
Point rewards:
- Search: 1 point
- Vote: 2 points
- Comment: 3 points
- Install taskbar: 150 points
- Invite a friend : 200 points
