Introducing: the WLSB Swag Bucks toolbar
Earlier today on the Swag Bucks blog you may have read about the ability to create custom Swagbucks.com toolbars.
While these toolbars only work with Internet Explorer (WLSB are die-hard Firefox users) the concept struck a chord with us. We are always interested in new ways for WLSB readers to get to the WLSB blog and Twitter pages quickly, get the latest codes, and get them entered into their account pages before they expire.
With that functionality in mind, we created the WLSB toolbar.
The toolbar is a Swag Army Knife that you can take with you while you surf the web. It has everything you need including:
- Quick button to WLSB blog.
- Quick buttons to the WLSB Twitter page and the WLSBot Twitter page.
- Quick links to crucial Swag Bucks pages including the account page (so you can enter those codes fast!) and the Swag Bucks Blog, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages.
Top this all off with a handy Swag Bucks search box and you’ve got yourself one handy tool.
All you IE users can download the toolbar here:

Enjoy! And let us know what you think.

Introducing: The WeLoveSwagBot
Hi Everyone,
We’re very excited to introduce to you the WeLoveSwagBot. He loves Swag Bucks as much as we do, but unlike us he never sleeps. He spends 100% of his time reviewing posts on the official Swag Bucks blog and Swag Bucks twitter pages for any hint of a Swag Code. When he finds information that makes his diodes light up, he uploads the data to his own twitter feed.
We hope this is great news for all you loyal WLSB followers. Until today we’ve always had to apologize for missing late night codes. Honestly we’ve felt bad that we couldn’t keep a 24 hour a day vigil, poised to post news of any wee-hour Swag Codes. And while the WeLoveSwagBot is still in beta testing, he’s been doing a fair enough job of finding Swag Codes that we feel we can let him out to meet the Swaggernaut public.
Once again, he’s still in beta testing and may have some false positives but if you’re like us you’re going to follow any leads you can if it means the possibility of Swag Bucks being added to your account.
Use the link below to start following the WeLoveSwagBot

Shucks… he’s a cute lil fella.

New “Phrase that Pays” Swag Bucks Twitter Promotion
Today Swag Bucks has announced their new twitter promotion: The Tuesday Phrase that Pays.
This new promotion is similar to the #Swagbucks promotion (the daily chance to win 20 Swag Bucks by including #Swagbucks in your tweets), with a few exceptions.
You enter each Tuesday by including the Phrase that Pays (revealed each Tuesday on the Swag Bucks blog) in your tweets along with an @SwagBucks (so that the good folks at Swag Bucks will be able to see your tweet). (If none of this makes sense to you you’re probably new to twitter… read about how to use twitter here: http://help.twitter.com/portal)
The phrase has to be in context however, so you can’t simply add it at the end of every tweet. You’ll have to take that swaggy phrase and use it in a sentence.
Here’s an example. Today’s Phrase that pays is “Swagify“, so your tweet may be:
I decided to Swagify my wardrobe with a brand new @SwagBucks t-shirt.
The @SwagBucks does not have to be in the sentance though, like:
It’s cool to Swagify your browser with the Swag Bucks toolbar. @Swagbucks
The best news is that the prize for this promotion is a whopping 50 Swag Bucks!
You can still use the #Swagbucks promotion, in fact, why not use both and double your chances of winning? The TTPTP has replaced the #Swagbucks promotion.
Winner will be announced tomorrow.
Good luck!

Sign up for the Swag Bucks Newsletter
If you haven’t already, you should head over to Swagbucks.com and sign up for their monthly newsletter. The newsletter has been available since February of this year and both the first and second installments contained a Swag Code!
The third installment could be out soon, so get on over to Swagbucks.com and click the second link from the bottom in the menu… the one that looks like this:

Navigating the Swag Bucks Facebook Page
As we frantically scurried to post last night’s Swag Code hint it occurred to us that when you are in a mad rush to find a code one can get easily lost in the many levels of Facebook pages. This can be compounded while 20,000 people are posting their comments about their own success or confusion.
The latest incarnation of Facebook has improved on some old elements and has some nice benefits for us Swag Code hunters. So when you get a tweet or see a WLSB post about a Facebook wall code here’s how to find it fast.
First of all, jump to the Swag Bucks facebook page. It pays to be logged into Facebook, so if you aren’t, do that as soon as you get there.
You should see something like this (click the image for full size):
The first and most important thing to notice here is that the most recent Swag Bucks post is prominently displayed at the very top of the page over the tabs. Unless Swag Bucks has posted again, our Swag Code or our hints to find it will be right here. If you are not logged in to Facebook you may not see the latest post at the top of the page.
The second thing to note is the Just Swag Bucks button under the Write something… box. If our instructions aren’t in the very top portion of the page, click this button and all the wall messages by fans will be filtered out. Now you will have a much easier time finding the correct post.
Sometimes you won’t see the filter buttons under the Write something… box. Don’t panic. Your version of the wall probably looks like this (click image for full size):
Simply click that little Filters button and the Just Swag Bucks button will appear!
We hope this helps you cut through the haystack to find the needle. Good luck everyone!

What is Swag Bucks
Every now and then WLSB will pause to let new visitors know what the skinny is on Swag Bucks.
What is it?
SwagBucks.com is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn Swag Bucks, digital dollars which can be redeemed for exclusive swagbucks.com prizes.
How does it work?
It’s easy as 1-2-3!
- Search the web as you normally would using SwagBucks.com search engine. You’ll get results from Google.com and Ask.com.
- Swag Bucks will be periodically awarded to you as you search. You can win up to 5 Swag Bucks with a single search and on Fridays you can win up to 100 Swag Bucks with a single search. You can also find and redeem Swag Codes (many of which will be hinted at here at WeLoveSwagBucks) which will add to your Swag Bucks total.
- Redeem your Swag Bucks for prizes ranging from gift certificates for Amazon, Target and iTunes to televisions, video games, iPods, movie, music and sports collectibles, comics and books, and much much more!
Does it really work?
You bet!
I am normally highly skeptical of this type of internet thing because they are so often full of junk mail, don’t pay out, ask you for way too much personal info, or just take too much time, but SwagBucks.com is really working for us.
My wife and I have been using it for about three months and have not received one piece of junk mail and have earned enough SwagBucks to get $75 in Amazon gift certificates (we are BIG book lovers). Above all this it couldn’t be more easy and is actually addictively fun! At this rate we’ll have almost $300 in Amazon gift certificates at the end of the year, all for searching the internet as we normally do each day.
Okay… How do I get started?
- Sign up here and you’ll start with 3 Swag Bucks.
- Start searching and winning Swag Bucks.
- Check out our tips for maximising your Swag Buck wins.
- Come back to WeLoveSwagBucks for news and clues to the latest Swag Codes.
- Have fun!
