You obviously have never had anything to do with in the non- profit sector!!
It is to bad that when you google good search this is one of the first things that comes up.
Irresponsible !

If you had you would have known how stupid that first statement was,
Anyone that has anything to do with charity would jump at the chance to do something this easy to help others.

For one thing, searching on GoodSearch (and meanwhile making a donation) does not require divulging any personal information other than your search term. Registration is optional.

For another, I think this whole predicament is quite easily remedied: only select charities you trust.

If the system is abused by some parties, I don’t think that’s anything to give a hoot about, either– in that situation, Yahoo makes some portion of the money, the abuser receives funds, and advertisers get attention. Not a great situation, but there’s nothing particularly harmful about it.

While goodsearch.com themselves may be innocent of any intentional misconduct, what surprises me the most is how willing people are to surrender their personal search and shopping data to unknown third parties for a mere penny per search. Guess what? You’re being cheated – that information is worth more to the market researchers paying Goodsearch for the data acquired. Much more. And what of the quality of the search results? Yahoo search is hardly as good as Google, or even Bing. Plenty of statistics online regarding that market. I wouldn’t be willing to do this unless there was more transparency – just how much is Yahoo being paid for this data being collected from us?

I’d rather keep my online activities private, personally. I wish more people understood the ramifications of the information being shared about them online. Stuff like this is indicative of the level of ignorance the average layperson has regarding online privacy.

I find it sad that you don’t believe in the end most people are good. I’m giving to the aged in my old hometown. A big $146.00 they’ve earned. Sure people need to be honest and your warning about corrupt companies is legit only you make Good Search sound like the corrupt organization. It was a few people who thought a penny here and there could help so suitable organizations. I do wish you would believe in people being basically good at heart.
Geeaea, my sister and sister in law both work at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital but before either did my family had a first hand experience with just what that hospital does with it’s money! There’s no hiding anything! The children and research a the number one priority. By making a blanket statement as you did you try to put all non-profits in the same basket. Now I wouldn’t give money to my husband’s not for profit hospital as they charge people for their services. But St Jude, who’s not on the list but hopefully will be, doesn’t charge families for their care, sleeping accommodations, any and everything a family in crisis might need. I even donate my sky miles to St Jude because some families can’t afford to fly to Memphis to seek care. Does that make it wrong that I’m using an obviously profitable company, credit card, to help the charitable? St. Jude has to pay their staff and it’s nothing super special compared to other hospitals, once you’re a patient you can return at ANY AGE for ANY KIND OF CARE! This is a hospital that took childhood cancer survival rate from the 20% category to 97% for leukemia alone. More kids by far leave the hospital healthy than don’t and families are forever touched, no matter the medical outcome, by the work of everyone at St Jude. So we should just stop raising money for them by going to Chili’s once a year on St Jude day, or shopping at stores that give 10% of your sale to St. Jude? Were would breast cancer be with the marathons, selling ribbons, etc.
It is totally up to the person selecting the charity to make sure it’s legit, don’t blame the Good Search idea for bad people. And I stand by my first thought, people are heart are good.

My Charity
uses goodsearch and goodshop and are totally blessed by the money we receive every year. It is up to every person to do their due diligence concering the Non-profits they support. Since all have to register with their local Corp comission it is not difficult. As always the most efficient way to support an organization is to donate directly to them. Goodsearch provides an additional way that you can support organizations with no out of pocket risk it truely is a win/win
