This is really awesome, thanks for giving people ways to get involved!!! It would be really great if you guys could support "Invisible Children" one month! They are dedicated to helping the child soldiers in Uganda. Their website is invisiblechildren.com! Keep up the great work!

You guys should support To Write Love On Her Arms one month. "TWLOHA is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for those struggling with depression, addiction, cutting and suicide."
it's an amazing movement, and a really really important one! :) What you guys are doing now is great! keep it up!

when I said "without the slow-loading ads" I meant putting faster-loading ads in their place, so you would make more money with the people that use the regular page, but you wouldn't lose anybody if they had the option to use ads that load faster but just don't give as much money.

Yes, I do know what you're talking about, but it's the ads that make the searches 'kind'...you know? But I'm still really concerned about losing people, so we probably are going to have to figure out a way to let people opt-out of the ads...maybe have a setting that only shows them once or twice a day or something. Thanks for pointing that out.

Here's a suggestion for others users who want to spread the word. Attach a signature to your emails that automatically tell everyone you contact about the site. Here's an example: Raise money for global charities just by conducting a Google Search! Use http://SearchKindly.org the next time you need to search the web - and see how easy it is! You can also make amazon/ebay/etc purchases that donate about 4-5 percent to the charity, so please check it out. Thank you! -_your name_
Make it personal with your name so that people notice it's not an automatic signature, but that you yourself wrote it with the intention of getting people to read it.

Google has google.com/ie for faster loading. perhaps you could create a search page without the slow-loading ads for people who want to search kindly but won't use it unless it's faster. Does that make sense?

Sorry about that--we were experimenting with different ads and their placements. I'll be sure to put them up before the end of the night (yes, this is my Saturday night). If you have any particular stores that you'd like me to find links for, please let me know.

What happened to the shopping links at the bottom of the page? They were there a few days ago but they're gone now. Where'd they go?

About the text ads--I know that they load faster, but we aren't making anywhere near as much money from them. I guess my request is that in order to stick with the text ads, we've got to have A LOT more people using the site. Please help!
