How does DogDog earn money?

Like any other search engine, DogDog earns money from the advertisements on our search results pages. These ads are clearly marked and are served up by our search partner Yahoo. DogDog receives a portion of the funds generated by these ads. We then donate 50% of our profits to dog shelters.

How much money is donated each quarter?

That depends on how many people use DogDog! The more people use it, the more we can give to dogs in need! Based on the revenue we receive, we have calculated that, on average, every search earns about a penny for dog shelters. The funds listed on the homepage of DogDog are a combination of what has been earned on both DogDog and its sister site GoodSearch.com that has been raised for animals in need.

How does the money get donated?

DogDog uses revenue generated from searches to support animal welfare causes and organizations selected by DogDog.

From time to time, DogDog may feature shelters, rescues, campaigns, contests, community voting initiatives, or other programs that help direct support toward animal-related causes.

Recipients, programs, contribution amounts, and timing (typically monthly) are determined solely at DogDog’s discretion.

Can I keep track of how much money I've earned through my searches?

You sure can! On the DogDog homepage, you'll see a counter on the top right of the screen. You'll be able to keep track of how your searches are feeding animals in need!
