Have you ever considered changing your search engine from google to an other?

Here is a good one: Ecosia, the green search:

Ecosia: The green search from in60seconds on Vimeo.


Short version:
1. Search with Ecosia – just like any other search engine.
2. Perhaps you click on an interesting sponsored link.
3. The sponsoring company pays Bing or Yahoo for the click.
4. Bing or Yahoo gives the bigger chunk of that money to Ecosia.
5. Ecosia donates at least 80% of this income to support WWF's work in the Amazon.
6. If you like what we're doing, help us spread the word!

  10. it's a great idea to market your websearch site... but if it does not deliver then I dont want to use it. I tried out bing... and yahoo... also... Ask . non came up with the results I was searching for on the first page. Google just got it down. but might as well try another.
