Emo Google, Search While Crying And Make This Guy Money

Emo Google, Search while you cry and make this guy money (Images)
This probably has to be one of the worst, and best, ideas ever fathomed. The site is called “emogoogle” and it’s a place where these sad kids can search for everything from screamo bands to black eyeliner. The problem here is, they don’t realize that basically every time they search for something they are making the sites developer money.
You see, what the viewer of the site doesn’t realize is that this is not a search engine. Well, let me correct myself, it is, but you will not see anything different, as search results are concerned, to the regular Google search.
However, there is a HUGE difference between the two in that whenever you search and click on one of Google’s ads in the search results, the site’s developer makes money.
Since the developer is the one getting these people to search, Google pays him a cut. Now this is not illegal or bad, as you can see I have Google Ads on my site as well to help subsidise my hosting expenses. I just want everyone to be aware the search results on “emogoogle” will not be anything different than regular.
But… you do get to stare at some skulls while entering in your search term! Yah!
Again, I’m not knocking this person, I think it is a really smart idea, but these kids need to be aware of what’s going on here. I think that on a site like mine, it’s common knowledge that if you click on one of the Google Ads on the side that I make a couple cents toward running my site.
This emogoogle just seems deceving in my opinion, but who am I to say…
