I still feel like we need to create a better advertising plan for Search Kindly - it's great that it's appeared in a few magazines and websites, but we've got to come up with a good way to attract new viewers (and more importantly, users).
It's too bad that Safari doesn't have the "add to searchbox" feature, because even though my homepage is Search Kindly, I'm still tempted to use the easier "Google" search in the corner.
--I agree with you, but unfortunately, it's a money-thing. We just don't have the money for a real advertising plan (mostly because we give it all away). --Syed

The voting results page no longer mentions how often you can vote. New folks might get confused or frustrated.

I have the feeling you are currently not repeating the organizations who already appeared in former polls, but never actually got a donation because back than only one organization a month could win the final poll.
I would like it very much if those organizations got a new chanche under the new system.
--You're right, we haven't repeated an organization in a couple weeks. That's because we have a really long list of new charities that have never been listed. If we don't receive too many more suggestions in August, we should be all caught up. This will allow us to start going through the old list. --Syed

I haven't been to the site in about 4 days, but it still says I have voted recently and won't let me vote again. I have been having trouble with this lately, even if I type the web address in fresh each time. Any help?

jut give the charity that garners the most votes all the money. the amount of money going to the other charities that don't get votes are not substantial.... 3-6 dollars?!?!?!

Hii Search Kindly Team,
How about SK taking initiative to exchange banners with sites like www.thehungersite.com, www.ippimail.com and www.freerice.com
The people who frequent such websites will have a natural inclination to use Search Kindly.
Thankyou

Please add the Central Asia Institute (www.ikat.org) to a future poll.

I like that it has changed to all the charities getting a share of the money, but i think it shoudl still last for a month, otherwise some charities are only receiving a dollar.

Wow! that flashing advertisement about being the 999,999 visitorreally stinks. But I know, you can fix it. keep up the great work, Searchkindly. I have had it as my homepage for months, and read about it in new moon magazine for girls.
