goodsearch
 

I just posted about "googling" and in reality I "goodsearch". I figured I should post about it in case anyone doesn't know about it. It's pretty awesome and I hardly notice a difference between it and Google. Here's the link- Welcome : GoodSearch : Search the Internet with GoodSearch and support your favorite charity or school.

And here's the gist:

GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It's a simple and compelling concept. 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!

In 2007, GoodSearch was expanded to include GoodShop, an online shopping mall of world-class merchants dedicated to helping fund worthy causes across the country. Each purchase made via the GoodShop mall results in a donation to the user's designated charity or school – averaging approximately 3% of the sale, but going up to 20% or even more.


You pick the charity and you can even add one if it's not listed. Cool huh? I kept forgetting to use it at first so I made it my home page. We goodsearch for Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF).

Thank you for sharing. I just put my Daughters charter school in and they will give them money so I willl use it. I am going too tell my Husband so he will put it on his computer also

How cool is that? I'm going to start using it asap :)

I've been using it a long time ...maybe 2 years ? I heard the money really DOES go where they say it's going and you can track how much - GOOD Post !! my post about it is long buried here

Great post! I had never heard of this. I will definitely start using it! :)

Nikki - so glad you posted about this!
I have used Goodsearch for at least 1 1/2 yrs. I told my parents about it & their church was added to the list and it has helped so much with their mission efforts.

I would definitely encourage folks to use it :)

My goodsearch charity? Kids Against Hunger -- an amazing organization

That is GREAT!!!!

Thanks! I will start using it. I've always used "dogpile" since my 6th grade librarian recommended it many, many moons ago. But I'll definitely start using goodsearch

Thanks for posting this! I don't know where I've been, but this is the first I've heard about this!:eek: I have it set as my default search engine now. I've selected my county's humane society.
