As a writer and a parent, I am constantly using Google search to find out new information and link to cutting edge concepts. I was pleased to discover www.blingo.com, a website presented by Publishers Clearing House, where you can perform a Google search and enter to win great prizes at the same time.

You do not need to register at Blingo to use their Google search and possibly win a prize, so there are no strings attached. Simply search as usually do up to 25 times every day for the chance to win. When you win a prize, you will see a window telling you what your prize is and asking where to send it instead of your search results. Winners are not advised through pop-up windows and Blingo does not use pop-ups throughout the website so there is no need to adjust your computer settings.

When you refer friends to Blingo and they win a prize, you will be awarded the same prize - no matter what it is. To date, Blingo has awarded 51,882 prizes and was revered by reliable sources such as the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune and CBS News.

Because no registration is required and I have to search the Internet everyday anyway, I intend to use Blingo from now on. After all, I might as well have a chance to win something while I’m performing my usual duties and I have nothing to lose if I don’t.
