Search and Win - Paid Post

Ok, this is cool. Winzy Search and Win is a search engine just like your googles, etc., except they add the extra incentive of the chance to win cash and other prizes just for using their search engine. And from the looks of it they seem to have a LOT of prizes to give away.

Currently they have a new contest running, which is their version of Deal or No Deal. You get to open a bunch of suitcases, revealing the cash amounts within, and the bank will show up from time to time offering to buy back the original case you chose. Just like the TV show.

Now, I will be honest with you. I am not one for playing 'online' games or joining things just for the prizes and so on. But with Winzy, I really think this is a fun way of attracting customers and building loyalty. I think I will sign up. They have a toolbar that you can download too. Heck, who doesn't want to win $500 cash or an iPod!?

Check it out and tell me what you think.

Interesting idea, but I am soooooo suspicious of marketing ploys.
