Frequently Asked Questions
What is ClimateGift.com?
ClimateGift.com is a search engine and customizable portal where your designated organization earns money through your activities. We've created a way to direct 50% of our gross revenue to partner organizations featured on www.ClimateGift.com. Did you know that search engines are projected to generate over $15 billion dollars in 2008 from US Paid Search Advertising. Let’s intercept some of these funds and donate them to organizations you believe in and support!
How does it work?
- On the first visit to ClimateGift.com homepage, users designate which organization to support.
- Once selected, the user will be directed to their organization’s portal and search engine on ClimateGift.com and be able to customize their home page with a variety of features and options.
- Use the search engine to research information from across the Web. Fifty percent of gross revenue generated from your activity will be donated to the designated organization. The ClimatGift.com team will track and send the check out quarterly.
How is the money generated?
At ClimateGift.com, we've developed a tracking system and direct these search-generated proceeds to each partner organization. Essentially, company advertising dollars (and not your own!) are passed along to your organization of choice. You will be able to donate without pulling out YOUR wallet. Also, there is no cap on how much money we can donate.
Fraudulent clicking on advertisements will not be tolerated and will ban your activity from this program and may result in your organization being banned from this initiative. We have a system in place that can trace fraudulent clicks, so please use this site honestly.
What is meant by fraudulent searching?
Fraudulent clicking includes, repeated manual clicks or clicks from the use of robots or other automated tools. These activities will result in the user or organization being banned from ClimateGift.com and from including the revenue generated as donations. Finally, ClimateGift.com could lose its ability to post sponsored links, which generates funding for your organization of choice. Please use this site honestly. Just use ClimateGift.com as you would any other search engine.
