It quickly adds up! Here's an example of how much your organization can earn: Small organization of 100 supporters, average two searches each day - estimated annual income is $730. Medium sized organization of 1,000 supporters, average two searches each day - estimated annual income is $7,300. A large organization with 10,000 supporters, average two searches each day - estimated annual income is $73,000. The sky is the limit. The more people use GoodSearch, the more money will be directed towards causes. There is no cap on how much money we will direct to charities. Where does the money come from?Search engines make most of their money from companies that pay an advertising fee when users click on links during a search. At GoodSearch, we've developed a patent-pending way to track and direct these search-generated proceeds to charities. In other words, a portion of advertiser dollars (and not your own!) earned as a result of your search, are now passed along to the organization you've chosen to support. Do the users ever have to pay anything?No. GoodSearch provides people a way to support their favorite cause at no cost. The money comes from the GoodSearch advertisers. What percentage of revenue goes to the charities and schools?GoodSearch is a search engine with a unique social mission which involves generously giving back to charity with every Web search. We direct a minimum of 50 percent of revenues (this currently equates to about a penny per search) to the nonprofits designated by our audience. Please note that image, video and site-specific searches are not included. Other examples of socially-conscious companies which donate a percentage of their revenues or profits to good causes include Newman's Own, Ethos Water, Patagonia and Ben & Jerry's. Do all of my searches count toward donations?All of your searches will count toward donations except for the following: 1) image searches; 2) video searches; 3) "search this site" searches; 4) searches for URL's (i.e., search terms ending in .com, .org, .net, .edu); 5) searches to sites for which the URL is well known such as HotMail, ESPN, MySpace, Facebook, GMail, AOL, etc.; 6) searches for stock quotes; 7) searches for word definitions, and 8) any searches generated from fraudulent use of the site.
