SCOUR Owners No Longer "Team Payers": Quit Ad-Revenue Sharing Incentive YEisHere

As of September 1, 2009 Scour no longer includes the search community in its 'profit sharing' or to be exact its ad-revenue sharing incentive program. Sadly, the owners of Scour state that due to 'overwhelming' user feedback they have decided to focus on improving the site and eliminating all forms of rewards.
This is akin to the legendary 'bait and switch' tactic of hustlers: present a great opportunity to the public, one that looks like a win/win and once you gain support and trust (I used and promoted Scour for more than a year!) discontinue/quit the portion of the opportunity that benefited the public!
Yes there is a global economic downturn and yes most, if not all, businesses are looking for ways to cut costs. However, the online advertising income has steadily INCREASED along with search engine income consistently for the past 3 years! (See article "Monetized Yet? What Are You Waiting For?") There isn't any real reason to cut the public out of the ad-revenue sharing aspect of Scour other than the usual: the owners want all of the profit for themselves while the public (users) MAKE/GENERATE all of the advertising money FOR the search engine! As recent as July 31, 2009 Scour announced how tremendous growth had been made due to the efforts of the user community! (See article "Scour Is Upgrading Its Reward System")
In response to the Scour decision to eliminate the feature that drew the majority of it's users to the site I posted this statement in their comment section:
"While improving the search capabilities via adding the Twitter & Digg (social networking, etc) components does boost the reasons for using Scour there is actually NO reason to discontinue the ad-revenue sharing aspect provided by the ‘points/rewards’ system. Ad-revenue sharing is more than an incentive for using Scour — its a mutual commitment to enhance all parties financially as the Scour search engine grows. Your decision has less to do with focusing on making Scour better than it does with keeping all the financial gains for Scour itself while leaving the community out of the $$ loop. Keep it real."
So. . . if your 'searching for dollars' by using ad-revenue sharing search engines, don't use Scour because you won't get paid!

Create Employment Opportunities thru Franchise Owernship! YEisHere

With the current job market reality being that EVERYONE, including executives, are facing possible layoffs and job loss, the most important need for many 'displaced' and/or working experienced workers is a job opportunity that is relatively 'fire' proof!
Recently in the small town of 43,000 people where I reside, 1000 people lost their jobs! Sadly, most are in the position of paying frequent visits to the local 1 Stop or Work Source (privatized state unemployment vendors) to scour online for jobs. Far too many are scurrying to retailers, warehouses and visible businesses applying for the same jobs that 999 other people are hoping to get!
Now, what if 50 of these people formerly in management decided to pool their resources and purchase a franchise? Franchising contains 75 industries that a group of experienced workers, daring to become new entrepreneurs, could be involved in. Many of these franchise industries are recession resistant, low-start up, executive models.
Good franchise companies are searching for former corporate-types, with all of their experience, to run a franchise and be the CEO, not the technician.
A major benefit of small franchise operations is that they create local jobs. According to a study released by the International Franchise Association in 2007, franchised businesses generate more than 11 million jobs with an annual payroll of $278.6 billion dollars. "The franchise industry is now the largest employer in the United States, surpassing the military," says Matthew Shay, President and CEO of the IFA.
Historically it is easier to secure traditional financing to start a franchise because banks and the Small Business Administration have always supported that lending money to a start-up franchise operation is safer than lending to an individual small business. The good news is there is money out there! A great credit score and a solid business plan are necessary. Our hypothetical 50 franchise owners can also use their severance, savings and/or retirement funds to finance their future. This is a safe, tax and penalty free method of obtaining seed money.
Because franchise operations across America account for 4.4 percent, or more than $880 billion, of the United States' economic output there is no better time for small groups of displaced workers, disillusioned professionals and the regular 'ready to be my own boss' to take advantage of the current need for self-employment methods that will also employ others!

Have your ever wondered what it must be like to own a search engine like goolge, yahoo, webcrawler or askdotcom?

That has to be one of the EASIEST ways to generate income in the whole internet world: a zillion searches a day, even at 1 cents per search would make billions of dollars for the search engine owner and it DOES!
What if there was an Easy way for you to make money or at least accrue points, prizes and a chance to win a monthly $1000 grand prize every time you searched for something on your computer? Think about it: your computer, you search, you generate an opportunity to win gift cards, cash and other prizes!
