Ouch, I see it now:

"May not compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior"

I guess this is why there are other sites that use Yahoo as the search engine for the same purpose... Thanks for the heads up, I'll let you know if I find some way around it. I think I'll leave it up and wait until Google contacts me before switching to Yahoo.

Who knows, maybe I'll write something that allows verification of donations for charities. That might be a good non-profit in itself.



Sure thing - good luck - they're pretty quick =)

What I was working on morphed into http://www.tunesfortrees.com/ once we realized GoodSearch.com owned the search space.

Your next thought was my next thought, verification for charities would be great to have as long as you could get Google approval, and as long as enough people cared =)


Genius man, it's a good idea and looks fantastic.

Good luck to you, too!
