An Internet search provider and incentive system includes a database and a processor. The database contains user account data, data relating to items available, and a rule set for obtaining the items. A software system can receive a selection for a search to be performed and interface with an Internet search engine. The Internet search engine can perform the user-selected search and increment a user account by a reward unit. The search results are displayed, and also an available reward. Available purchase options are displayed for obtaining an item based upon the associated rule set. A first option is based upon a reward unit total in the user account; a second option, upon a monetary total; and a third option, upon a combination of reward units and a monetary amount. A user selection can be received relating to the item to obtain and relating to a purchase option. |
