Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft (NASD: MSFT) this week announced a new initiative to boost traffic to its Live Search service, whereby it will pay users to use the search engine with rebates. The "Cashback" service will see advertisers pay only when users click through on ads and make a purchase; Microsoft then takes a cut of this payment and returns the entire amount back to users of the service.
