General:
Q: What's the point of voting?
Voting is a huge deal; it's the most important facet about Scour.com. We pull results from the top 3 search engines, but thrive on feedback to make the results relevant. After enough votes on results, the search result can rise or fall in ranking which will make listings across all the engines more relevant on Scour. Your feedback will help millions across the net the next time the same keyword is searched for.

Q: How do you decide what ranks highest?
We briefly cover this in the about page - But to simplify, we take the results from the 3 major search engines, (Google, Yahoo, MSN) Taking into account their current rankings. We then weight them against our own database to see what our users have said about where positions should be, and apply that weight to the results. Sometimes users have their own custom algorithm, and in that case you choose how to rank the results, not us.

Q: What are the Scour community guidelines?

Q: Why does the searching take a little longer?
Scour results are dynamically generated each time you search. In addition to aggregating the rank results from 3 search engines, we also take Scour user network votes into consideration all in real-time. This causes a slightly longer load time than just using one engine, but it's worth it.

Invite Friends:
Q: Can I invite more friends after the initial sign up option?
Of course! Scour wants you to tell your friends. Just go to "My Profile" and click on "Invite Your Friends." This will allow you to invite more friends and if they have not signed up yet with Scour, you will be able to collect 25% of their overall points.

Q: How do I get my personal referral link?
Referral links are pretty simple. Simply copy and past http://scour.com/invite/(your user name) and invite a friend.

The link will automatically give you credit for those who sign up from that your invite url.

Q: Do I need an account or an invite?
Why not? It's free! If you want to reap all the great benefits of using Scour like voting, comments and getting rewarded for everything you do. An account will manage all of this for you and also allow you to connect with other users. If you just want to search occasionally, that's cool too, you don't need an account for that.

As for signing up through an invite, you don't have to. But I am sure that your friend would appreciate it. By signing up through their invite, you will be able to generate more points for them (25% of your overall points).

Reward System:

Q: What is the daily cap for points?
Out of the cap of 300 points per day, you may earn points from your first 100 daily searches. There is no cap on community contributions.

Q: How many points can I earn per search?
You can earn up to 3 points per search through any combination of actions. Repeat searches in the same day will not count for additional points.

Q: If I cap my points in one search, can I still vote and comment?
Sure, there is no limit as to how many votes and comments you can do per search.

Q: I have done searches but there are no changes in my total points, why?
This could be a result of a few things:

You need to be signed into Scour for us to be able to track your searches, votes and comments.
You have maxed out your total points per search: 3 max points/search
You have maxed out your 100 search opportunities for points for the day.
You have maxed out your total points per search or for the day: 300 max daily points
We have not yet refreshed your points.

Q: Why did my points total decrease?
We often conduct manual reviews to ensure quality contributions across our network. During this process we may delete inappropriate comments or ban abusers that may be within your friends' network. When reaching the "Cash Out" stage - your activity and friends points will require review to ensure that they are legitimate - while this process can drop your points below "Cash Out" level, this is to ensure quality participation across the Scour community.

Q: Can't people abuse the system?
You can try, but Scour has several checking systems and algorithms in place to spot and block those who wish to abuse our feedback or points system. BUT since nobody is perfect, if you notice of a way around our system that you think we have not addressed, please let us know, it will be your good deed for the day!
