The search engine with a heart
Search engines are big business. While it might not cost you anything to find what you want, you search could be generating advertising revenue for the big search operators and a number of sales for those who pay for the premium slots. One new search engine – everyclick.com – aims to follow this example, but use some of the money generated as charitable donations.
Every time a user clicks on a paid-for listing on everyclick.com, 50% of the revenue generated is donated to charity. Similarly, when a user shops with everyclick.com, 50% of commissions are donated to charity. On average, each search generates 0.5p.
everyclick.com hopes to have raised more than £20 million for over 170,000 UK charities by the end of 2008. So if you want to find something, why not do it the charitable way?
