Internet search has proven to be one of the most lucrative businesses in technology. Improving upon an already successful model, Zotspot today announced its official launch as the first Internet search engine to pay its users in cash for their normal search behavior. By using Zotspot as their primary search engine, users earn money and also have the option of allocating a portion or all of their earnings to one or more of their favorite charities or universities.

Payments, disbursed monthly through PayPal, are calculated based upon personal usage. In addition, by referring their friends, Zotspot users can add greatly to their pocketbooks or increase their donation to charities. Creating an account is quick and easy. All personal information is secure, and the data collected by Zotspot will never be sold or shared.

“Zotspot makes it possible for people to make money and also make a difference simply by doing something they already do on a daily basis - search the Internet,” said Mark Davis, President and Founder of Zotspot. “Billions of dollars in Internet search have been made by search companies and online advertisers, but users - the catalysts of this huge revenue stream - have been essentially left out of the market. Zotspot gives people the ability to earn extra money and the flexibility to do what they want with the earnings, whether they spend it themselves or donate it to hundreds of Zotspot partner charities.”

Free to use, Zotspot provides users with a high-quality syndicated search service. Zotspot makes money the same way all of the other major search engines do - through advertisements in the search results. The key difference between Zotspot and its competitors is that Zotspot shares its revenue with its users. In addition, users may elect to give all or a portion of their earnings to universities, non-profits, or charitable organizations. Zotspot already enables users to donate to more than 300 charities and universities.

Zotspot is the very first Internet search engine to usher in the era when people are finally rewarded for participating in the ever-expanding online search market that they created. To set up an account, visit Zotspot.
