"Search the Cure" Launches; 75% of Revenue Goes to Breast Cancer Research

Last week JDMedia Corp. launched the site "Search the Cure." The site only offers one thing for users: search via Google. But what it offers to breast cancer research is a lot more.

According to the site:

Everyone wishes they could donate money to notable causes, but often times it’s hard coming up with the money. So we got to thinking… what are some little ways that each person could make minor changes in their daily habits to help bring about a greater good? Our goal is to give like minded people who come to our site, a way to make that difference. The more people there are that use our search page, the more money will be raised for breast cancer research, education and support. It’s pretty cut and dry.

They promise that 75% of search revenue will go to breast cancer research. They also state that at the end of every month they'll post revenue statements in their About Us section so users will get plenty of transparency into how how much money is being generated by the site.

In an emailed press release, JD Media Corp. President John McPheters said:

"By donating 75% of the revenues to charity, the hope is that our initiative will grow in a grass roots fashion, to help bring in money for this great cause with the click of a button. We ask that you help us spread the word about this exciting initiative."

"Search the Cure" plans to partner with other major charities over the course of the next few months.

If you consider the percentage of web search Google owns, if even a small percentage of those users were to use this site, you can imagine it making a significant amount of money for breast cancer research.

So ... if you're already using Google's search engine, why not use this page instead? It's for a good cause, after all! Yes, Yes, I know JDMedia Corp. will still get 25% of the revenue.

In terms of that aforementioned company, JDMedia Corp. was founded in 2005, and is a New York based media firm that "does work across a wide array of disciplines." According to their website, they are:

A young upstart media/market research firm, the companies primary focus is finding new ways to reach a younger yet broad demographic of people through a variety of methods. Whether mining for data, or building custom marketing plans, JDMedia Corp. has the expertise to handle many different types of projects both large and small.
