  The ddg CEO (and others) have answered this question here: https://www.quora.com/How-does-DuckDuckGo-make-money https://www.quora.com/How-does-DuckDuckGo-make-money tl;dr: They serve ads based on keywords and not by tracking your interests.

      How does what fit into what? It's possible to serve ads without being creepy if that's what you're asking.

          It's marketing for their search engine
