    It looks like a rip-off to me. What is the proof that any revenue goes to Africa rather than the web owner's pocket?

    All the site does is submit your search to the "real" google. This domain is registered to an individual and through Go Daddy.

    Yeah right... I'm trusting some unknown person to send my money to AIDs victims in Africa.

    I don't believe the site is honest. Also I think the site will soon be in trouble for using Google's name and logo.
