Microsoft SearchPerks to Reward Users for Using Live Search

Microsoft is working to “innovate” its search business model in one clearly visible way: perks. Perks, perks, and more perks. This time it’s about SearchPerks.

The SearchPerks! promotion allows us to reward users for their Web searches (within Internet Explorer Web browser, version 6.0 or higher, on Microsoft’s Windows Live, MSN or Live Search properties, excluding searches within the Live Search Club and the Live Search Club toolbar, located at http://club.live.com; Search and Give and any Search and Give toolbars, located at www.searchandgive.com; and MSN Video site searches located at http://video.msn.com/video.aspx, up to a maximum of 25 tickets per day), and it helps us improve the search experience. As you use our search engine over the course of the promotion, we hope to introduce you to the many features that Live Search has to offer. In return for participating in the promotion, you’ll accumulate tickets that can be redeemed for cool prizes.
