Start-up Zotspot is set to officially launch on Tuesday a site that pays people to search, and pays them even more based on how many other people they refer to the site.
"To give you a sense of the earning potential, we estimate that each referral who uses Zotspot as their primary search engine will generate between 10 cents and 50 cents for you per year. (We can't guarantee those estimates, but we hope to continue to increase member earnings and even pass those numbers in the future!)" the Web site says. "If you refer 10 people, they each refer 10 people and so on, you could earn over $250 per year."
It's not a pyramid scheme because it doesn't require people to pay anything to participate, the site says.
Zotspot results pages list 10 results per page and at times seems to have issues with collocating the same page with differerent urls. A results page also includes two sponsored links at the top of the results page and nine or ten sponsored links in the right rail. Their are no cached pages or an advanced interface.
