Meh, found this place a while back. Anyone actually get money from it?
Hope this isn't advertising.....just looking for opinions/ see if it's a ripoff.
whoa, this sounds too complicated for me.

I don't know if it works either, will visit chacha.com later.

it's a search engine where real "guides" get paid to help the people searching... You pick "keywords" that you are knowledged in.. etc. Read the wiki edit.

I wonder if chach is a guide there. 
But that's an interesting way to provide info to searchers.

So basically, If we all wanted to be a 'guide' on the site, the chances are slim. I've skimmed through the wiki article and a 'master guide' has to send you an invite to become a guide, and the chances of anyone knowing a master guide or guide for that matter are pretty slim. Sounds cool and legit though,

It sounds pretty cool, especially being paid, but I don't want to let my guard down around sites that I don't know that much about.

Same, I always think it's too good to be true, even when it's been proven to work to me  I always think there's a catch.

Well Im searching on the site, and the so called guides don't even connect to me, and when one finally does come up, they are useless.
It's a bit stupid really..

Sounds cool...
But these things always have a catch especially if they need your bank details

I don't think you lot understand, I said in my post above how it works. It is all legit, the only catch is that you probably wont be a guide unless you know a 'master guide' really well, or well enough for them to send you an invitation to be a guide. Then you will get paid for helping everyday users, it's all okay, I think anyway
Lee
Edit - It is quite good actually, here is what I and a guide were saying. Note that I bolded me (you).
Vernon(79508): Welcome to ChaCha!
You: Hello
Vernon(79508): Hello thanks for choosing chacha for your search I will try to find what you are requesting
You: ok, well I am trying to find really low prices for wii games and accesories
Vernon(79508): ok
You: But I want a secure site, so I know it is safe to shop online
Vernon(79508): I will be happy to help with that
You: thankyou
Vernon(79508): Thanks for being patient! Rest assured I'm finding the most relevant results for your search.
You: Aw thankyou , this is the first time on chacha, its quite good
Vernon(79508): just running a little slow today
Vernon(79508): lol
Vernon(79508): lot of searchers are on
You: Getting quite popular then
You: Do you actually get paid well? How does it work?
Vernon(79508): about 50 cents a search
Vernon(79508): that is for 6 mins
You: So it is not available for england yet?
Vernon(79508): not yet
You: hmm ok :-)
Vernon(79508): they should
Vernon(79508): it would be great around the world
You: Yeah, so how did you get to be a guide?
Vernon(79508): just filled in the app
You: Oh that's cool
Vernon(79508): took the quiz and then they you go I was a guide
Vernon(79508): lol
Vernon(79508): Please RATE ME. Thanks for using ChaCha.
Status: Session ended.
So yeah, all he did was fill in an app form and he was a guide. 50 cent a search, that's cool. I wish i lived in America :\
That vernon guide guy seemed to rush off though, I had a more patiant guide earlier. chacha is quite fun actually
