There's also therainforestsite.com, thehungersite.com, and theanimalrescuesite.com. It helps to set them as your default home page so that you'll easily donate every day.
Hi. You don't know me, I just found your journal. I was just wondering how just clicking on the Breast Cancer site helps them with funding? It's great, but I'm curious as to how it works. Please tell me if you know.
Hello. I must admit I've been wondering about that too, the only way I can imagine it to work is somehow through their sponsors - but still, what if I don't visit the sponsors' sites? *shrugs* I really don't know.
yep, that's how it works. when you go on the charity site you can't avoid seeing ads - and this is all that matters to the sponsors - and when you click on the button it proves that you were there and saw the ads. this means the advertizers get proof that their ads are being seen, and then they can pay the charity people accordingly for the ad space. that's how it's kind of a win-win situation. same kinda deal when we have to watch commercials between TV shows, it's why watching TV costs next to nothing.
you don't have to visit their site any more than you have to buy their products. the whole idea of advertizing is that a certain number of people will be interested and check it out, and a certain number of those will be interested enough to buy. if that wasn't the case with these sponsors, they'd be out of a job, so evidently enough people do click on their sites and buy their crap. that's what i reckon anyway. :P
i think it's cool you posted this. i try to click at the hunger site, the breast cancer site, the rain forrest site, the child illness site and the animal rescue site every day. important causes! :)
