Swagbucks is a paid-to-search program where you receive points for using their search engine. You can then redeem the points for gift cards to stores like Amazon and Target, or you can redeem the points for cash via PayPal. Swagbucks' search engine is decent, and many of the sites that show up on the front page of a Google search will have similar rankings on the Swagbucks search results page.
The biggest downside to Swagbucks is that points are awarded randomly, so you will not receive points for every search. Fortunately, the rate at which you receive rewards is pretty high, plus every Friday is usually a Swagbucks bonus point day, giving you a greater chance to earn points. If you use search engines as much as I do, you'll rack up those points in no time!
