Title: My search aren't getting credited
Post by: pirewolf on February 07, 2012, 04:41:50 pm
I have not been getting any credits for any of my searches. And now it is saying either the search is invalid or it doesn't think I'm really using it. I am on my computer alot so I can see where my amount of searches might seem weird, but I use it alot. And I thought it was just maybe some of the odd things I was looking up, but I'm not even getting credited for the recipes and things I look up alot. I just need to know what I can do to get it to work, and what happened in the first place.

Glad I'm not the only one. I had been receiving my search rewards until Sunday the 5th, then nada. After 91 searches and 22 cents, my searches have yielded me nothing. Anyone else having problems with their searches no longer crediting?  :'(

Mine tend to be "hit or miss" but missing more times than not.  It worked better for me last month.

Mine have been working fine now that I understand how searching works.

Searches come in groups of four. Each search has to be valid for the group to be valid. if one of the four searches is seen as invalid, the whole group will be invalid. You will be notified if your search is valid or invalid after the fourth search.

My advice is to keep it simple. I search for places or people or an item in the news. I do not rush. Do not repeat one of your searches. Type in something. Get results. Access at least one of your results. Then go back and type in the next item. As said, keep it simple and do not rush.

I only try to get two cents a day searching and thus far it is working.

 mine is working fine, but keeping things simple is the best way to get the search also you can do the same keyword search in the same month.. as long as it is a valid search you will get you 4 search equal a cent, even if you get an invalid in between your searches.. i never had a problem with it not giving me my penny after i got 2 or 3 search then an invalid search and another valid one its always added my 4  and gave me the penny. I sometimes search thing more then once or twice a week when im looking for certain things!

My search tool bar hasn't been working correctly, either. I was under the impression that it is to be used as you would normally use any other search bar, naturally. What is with all the tips and tricks to make it work. All of my searches are valid to me and I need info on what I am searching for so, how is that invalid? Oh well, back to searching the good old fashion way with no gimmicks and more results to choose from. That's what works best for me.

I haven't done the searching thing yet and if I do will this toolbar install on Google Chrome?  I don't know what happened the one day I tried to install it on my Internet Explorer but it caused the browser to crash and then I had to restart because my browser didn't want to open up afterwards.  Since firefox crashes on me I can't use that either so that's not an option and Google Chrome I use most often.

 My antivirus software doesn't seem to work well with my opinion square toolbar and causes it to close out.  Do you think this could be the problem?  Anyone else have Google Chrome and get paid to search for FC?

although I don't know how the credit is given I just keep it simple as possble. When I search I put in words like ring, clothes, diets, etc.... even if I'm not really looking for anything just to see if my search takes, out of 52 searches I got 12 cents.
