Wabbadabba offers prizes as you search
22/09/2007 by swordfish.
A new search engine has launched in the UK that lets users win prizes as they search.
Wabbadabba is powered by Yahoo and will award up to 15 prizes at random times throughout the day, ranging from Amazon vouchers to TV sets.
Every time a user enters a search on the site, they have chance of winning one of the prizes even if they do not click on any of the links.
“Wabbadabba finally proves that there is such a thing as a free lunch,” said Ben Akin-Smith, head of innovation at Wabbadabba. “We aim to add a bit of fun to a task that has become a part of every day life for most people who use a computer either at work or at home. The average person typically does 10 to 12 searches a day, so that is a lot of chances to win.”
Prizes are limited to three per household per month. The vast majority are £5 and £10 Amazon vouchers, but the company insisted that higher value prizes will be given out. Future prizes could also include vouchers for retailers such as Play.com, iTunes and Argos.
