How exactly does DDG make money? You aren't storing search info so I can't imagine that any ads would be very targeted. Is it a "Scale then revenue" plan?
A couple of ways. First, there is some minimal advertising in the right column with providers that work within our privacy principles, i.e. no targeting or sharing IP addresses to serve ads. The other way we make money is via affiliate sales, e.g. Amazon and eBay. This affiliate model also doesn't share personal information -- see our privacy policy for details.
