Darius11 12 #1 February 28, 2005 All it takes is a few min. Go to this site http://www.thebreastcancersite.com Click on the pink box, then you can use your browser to go back and click on one of the tabs on top. For example hunger site then click on the box in the middle of the screen. You can repeat until you have donated to all 6. You can repeat the process once a day.

jumpergirl 0 #2 February 28, 2005 I do that every single day. I always click on the breast cancer site and usually the animal site, too. When I think about it (shame on me) I go to all of the sites and click on all of them. It makes me feel good knowing it's worthwile and will add up to help people, or animals.

I've never heard of this but I suppose the advertisers pay per hit on the site with their banners. So the more people who view their ads, the more they pay towards those things.

Yes, I saw that. But that doesn't explain how clicking buttons pays for mammograms. All it implies is that they donate their advertising revenues to that cause. But that doesn't mean that an individual clicking a button has any impact upon increasing that revenue. I don't see anything about any pledges to donate a certain amount of money per number of hits. The ad revenues are there whether an individual clicks or not, up to a point. But if it makes you feel good, do it. Here's the real catch: "You can increase funds generated for mammograms by signing up to receive newsletters of interest to you, offered by our partners. With each sign-up, you give more, further helping to make early detection and survival possible." There ya' go: if you really want to help out, get yourself on more spam e-mail lists!
