Does free giving work?

Options
I am wondering if others here on Moneysavingexpert are familiar with the concept of Wugging - Web Use Giving?

The principal of the sites are that by searching online, one can raise money to charity. Every search engine is making advertisement money from the searches and wugging sites use the technology to raise for charity.

In the US, the biggest one is goodsearch.com and and in Europe it's veosearch.com and everyclick.com.

Do you think it works or is it just another fad? Is it OK to donate for free?

    Hmmmmm..... my first instinct is to shout "spam", but I hesitate seeing as this OP promotes charity sites.

    What do others think?
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Not charity sites but sites that make money and give some of it to charity.

    My first instinct is the same as yours.
