Description from GOODSEARCH LLC“We often refer to the GoodApp as the "App that Gives Back" because that's what it does! Once you add the GoodApp to your browser, you're able to help raise funds for your chosen charity or school every time you search the web and shop at participating stores. You'll be able to keep track of your individual earnings for charity as well as the total earned for your favorite cause. And as a bonus for you doing so much to give back, the app will alert you to any coupons or deals when you're shopping at partner retailers! Fifty percent of the revenue generated from the sponsored search advertisers on GoodSearch is shared with the charity, school or nonprofit organization of your choosing. We estimate that each Web search will generate approximately $0.01 (image, video, Yellow Pages, and site-specific searches are not included). 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 patented a 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. ”
