Hey DPers, just wanted to ask for your help with something… A couple of days ago I was switching servers and I was extremely bored as all my sites were down so I wanted to something good, so I started building a new charity site, I wanted to make it so that it would be easy for anyone to donate, so I came up with SoulTarget.com, where you can donate while you search, through viewing my own stats for AS search I found out that every 1000 searches could support about 3-5 children for a month (calculated with a CTR of 25%, which seems to be normal for AS search, and a PPC of .30) then I thought about the amount of searches that I myself make each month and it would have to be over a thousand. Anyways I found that this would be a great and easy way to sponsor young children from the Christian Children's Fund. So I would like to introduce you’ll to SoulTarget.com, read more on the More Info page, I have already began by supporting young Mariatou. As the number of searches increase there will be more and more children added, also I will post any letters and messages they send, I think this can be a pretty nice group project. I would hope that you’ll would join me, feel free to tell me what you think about the project and I would love to have some volunteers in helping. Anyways tell me what you’ll think… BTW: I would like to launch this site through digg in next few days to get some exposure to it and I would appreciate if you'll would keep this thread alive so we can spread the message, and do something good together
If you would like to help get the word out please digg this here BTW Can someone tell me why this was moved from the Genral Chat area while this thread remains there http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=54476? Can a mod move it back or explain?
So Seiya you think the idea is good, I was starting to think it wasn't, i thought I would set it up and let the site run itself so it could do something good but people dont seem to be as open minded as I thought... If you do the numbers of how much all of us search on Google you would find that money could be going to a good cause instead of straight into Google pocket, you know so the SE results are the same, why not change who the money goes to a billiondollar company or some children... I dont know lets see what happens... Got a cool idea for a SE that would help out others check it out, tell me what you think. SoulTarget.com
Because any thread asking for donations or digg requests goes to Buy/Sell/Trade -> Services. Otherwise General Chat would be nothing but digg requests (which it was getting to at one point).
Ok I understand Anyways I m dropping the idea I thought it was good but I guess others didn't ehh live and learn anybody got any other ideas?
You should change to helping Katrina victims out there in Dallas! Hook yourself up with LOCAL churches don't contact the red cross they have enough money. But if you donated that money locally to help out at home I think that would be great Would really boost your searches too
