When was the last time you were procrastinating on the internet? :hmm: Did you know that all those searches you made could have raised money towards a good cause?
Raise money for your favorite charity or school just by searching the Internet at www.GoodSearch.com (powered by Yahoo)
“So, what if we could raise money for our favorite charities and schools by doing something we do every day — searching the Internet?
That's the question http://www.goodsearch.com/about.aspx]question Ken Ramberg (the former founder of JOBTRAK, now a division of Monster.com) and JJ Ramberg (an MSNBC anchor and the former Director of Marketing at Cooking.com) asked themselves a few years ago. After realizing what a fraction of the $8 billion generated annually by search engine advertisers could do if it were directed towards organizations trying to make the world a better place, they launched GoodSearch in 2005.
GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50 percent of its sponsored search revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it's powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!”
GoodSearch.com is a partnership between Yahoo and GoodShop.com, to donate a percentage of their advertising revenue to non-profit groups. A charity of your choice (a charity can get registerd) gets about a penny every time you search the web at no cost to you. Using GoodSearch.com the ASPCA has already earned more than $23,000! This partnership has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, Oprah Magazine and more."
