Latest Month’s Earnings

Sorry, fell a little behind on keeping everyone updated on MyEcoSeek’s earnings. Here is where we are at:

May: $16.00

June: $20.49

We are still researching on where to invest the money generated by the site. Since our last purchase we have $60.80 in the bank! Great job everyone, keep on searching! If you have suggestions on where you would like to see this money go please let me know.

One suggestion I have received is to give out a cash reward to the person that tells the most people about MyEcoSeek.com – think this is a good idea? Let me know. [dave AT myecoseek.com]

Last month (April) MyEcoSeek.com made $14.24. More and more people are using MyEcoSeek.com as their eco friendly search engine. The number of searches and visitors to the site is increasing all the time, this is so exciting! Thanks again for all your searching.

We haven’t purchased anything with the money generated by the site in 2 months now. We are evaluating what to invest in, if you have something in mind drop me a line [ dave AT my ecoseek.com ]

TerraPass Carbon Offset

Thanks to yoru searches in February MyEcoSeek generated $9. I know it doesn’t sound like a whole lote, but it was enough to purchase 2,000lbs of carbon offset through TerraPass.com – that’s equivilant to about 6,000 miles on a small airplane!
