Duck Duck Go Business Model

Duck Duck Go Blog
- All searches are private, even from DuckDuckGo.
- Money is made from keywords typed, without knowing search history or additional data
- Search advertisers buy ads for certain keywords - pay per click model
- “Using the Internet doesn’t have to feel like you’re being watched, listened to, and monitored.”
- Google now deploys hidden trackers on 76% of websites across the web to monitor your behavior and Facebook has hidden trackers on about 25% of websites
  - These trackers can be as simple as their logo served off their own website
  - They can track: interests, purchases, search and browsing history
- “It is a choice to squeeze every last ounce of profit at the expense of privacy, democracy and society.”
- Another revenue stream that doesnt violate privacy: non-tracking affiliate partnerships with Amazon and eBay.
  - It is important that they run their own affiliate programs, and dont use partners
- duckduckgo - interest based advertising vs. others - hyper-targetted based on cached customer data

DuckDuckGo uses Apple Maps to power private search results for map and address related searches
