Yahoo and Google account for over 80% of all searches made online. In order to get people to use them instead of Google or Yahoo they reward them with incentives, usually in the form of cash and prizes. That is the only way for them to get a large amount of people to use their search engine.

Sign up with more than one search engine company that pays to search. You could easily have over 100 daily searches that give you a chance to win.
