Click to give

Nix · 5 Jan 2008 at 05:29

This has probably been posted before but I couldn't find it within a search and as I've just stumbled across the site again, I thought I'd share it.

It's pretty simple how it works; a click that costs you nothing helps feed others.

When you click the link it sends you to a page displaying many advertisements - they make money due to the fact that a percentage of the "clicks" will result in a sale on one of the sites that are advertising there. The traders pay the site hosting the advertisements in some way, either a fixed amount based on predicted traffic or per click/sale.

God some of you lot are cynical. It takes a second and it from that Secstate site, all the money does indeed go to charity.

It is the principal.

Plus, unless I physically see the money raised going to the people that need it and not corrupt bloated governments, or people that would rather buy a gun than a bowl of rice, or give women no rights etc. I'll keep my clicks and my money thanks. UK charities only this end.
