I was wondering about the business model for this:
> We may also add an affiliate code to some results returned that result in small commissions being paid back to Runnaroo if you visit or make purchases at those sites.
I don't have an opinion on this one way or another, but it's an interesting approach.
- chris_f 6y agoI took that from one of the ways that DDG monetizes results. It's more aspirational right now than actually in practice. I was briefly in the Amazon affiliate program, but they told me search engines aren't allowed as part of their TOS.
- mgreg 6y agoDDG has a deal with Amazon. All product searches show Amazon up above with payment for that. Not sure if it's exclusive or if DDG has deals with other eCommerce players.
