GooglePoints
Hi all
I was just thinking - wouldn't it be great if Google gave a point or points for every search you did. ie. they ran a points scheme like ebayanything points
I reckon I'd be a millionaire by now.
cheers Peter
ps The idea has merit - their advertising views would skyrocket

This sounds more like an Omni topic...
The main problem, is that people would abuse it a lot. A 'bot could do millions of searches, without a real person behind them. Google gets income from advertisers clicked in the link, so they would lose advertisers since the corresponding purchases would fall dramatically compared to click throughs.

But even then, as below, robots would ruin it for all of us

I really dont see what this has to do with the "latest frequent flyer program buzz" so I'm going to close this here.
