They claim you can win prizes and Amazon gift cards just by searching the web.
Has anybody used it and actually won a prize with it? or is it another internet scam site?

I use it. I wrote a review in my hub "Money Making Websites that I really Use"
Have you won anything? I'll go read your hub, maybe you say in there. Thanks.
I use it. The key is to get a bunch of people to sign up under a link you post (just like hub pages). You can earn points for every point they earn from internet searches. An effective you tube video can net you enough to make well more than $50 a week in Amazaon.com gift cards. The catch is after they have earned a hundred points, you no longer earn double. However, most people don't earn a hundred points from searching very quickly.
Even if you don't use a social website to get people to join, you can earn enough swagbucks to make it worth your time. The key here is to remember to use the swagbuck search engine everytime you search. I earn an average of 4-5 bucks a day from this (it takes 45 bucks to get a 5 dollars gift card from Amazon.com). This will result in almost $20 a month in gift cards without even trying. Then if you ever do any online shopping, do it through a swagbuck site (Nordstroms, Macys, Wal-Mart, Buy.com, etc. etc.) and earn a swag buck for every five you spend. I earned tons this last Christmas just by buying presents like I always do. Also Swagbucks has special offers that you can redeem at participating sites, for example I bought a pair of boots at Nordstroms and use a Swagbuck advertised 25% off coupon to save while at the same time also earning rewards.
Will you get rich on this? No, but you can and will earn enough swagbucks to get yourself something extra around the house at least once or twice a year if you just do these simple non-time consuming steps.
Overall, swagbucks is what you make of it. Yes it can work, no you won't get rich, but yes you can get some very nice stuff (which you could turn around and ebay if you really want money) for free. It just takes a little ingenuity and patience.

I just noticed on my second site that something called Guardlink dot com has suddenly viewed my hubs over 30 times. When I checked on this site, it was written in Russian, and when I translated it, it seemed to be a site that stores people's links. I have no idea what this is, but it...

Does anybody else hate the new hub-hopping layout?I used to love hub-hopping but now it's turned into a critical analysis! I think this is detrimental to the whole idea therefore I don't do it anymore. It was a great way to look at others' work. Now I use the 'feed' section...

Does anybody still use the Hub Hopper?I still try and use the hopper, but it just seems like it's constantly filled with rubbish; short articles, ones with no grammar or punctuation, or hubs not even written in English - I was hub hopping just a minute ago and found one hub written gljwgl lafiwjei...

Does anybody have "incoming links" greater than 1 * and if so, how many links do you need?What's the scale used to determine the star rating for incoming links? What did you do to get more incoming links?

Does anybody know what happened to G+1'ing hubs?Was it decided that not enough people were using it and therefore it was not worth it? You would think that G+1'ing was a good way to get up there on the Google search.

I have just wrote a hub about writing techniques and while it has not managed to engage comments (which I am a little sad about) it does have more views in 24 hours than any of my other hubs have ever recieved. I know it has had a few shares on Facebook which have contributed to this but when I...
