Click a Dannon link -- $1 to charity


http://www.dannon.com/dn/dnstore/cgi...vID_486924.htm

Each click donates $1 (15 meals!) to charity. You can click once a day.

I'm pretty sure it's legit too, as it's Dannon. So start clicking.

Not a bad marketing idea. Dannon is practically paying $1 per targeted click they receive on their web site. So far over 1,000,000 potential customers got to:

1. be reminded of their brand name
2. may have had a chance to look at their products
3. think of how caring dannon inc. is.

Best,
Evil Artashes

So? Atleast they're donating. Much more than you can say for many companies. Fifteen meals is fifteen meals.

Also, the counter totals how many MEALS they're giving--I did the math, and it's just over 70,000 clicks.

I clicked also, real or not, took only a few seconds. If it's real, it is a nice thing they are doing.

1. nfi who/what Dannon is
2. spent less than 5 seconds with their site open.. including loading time
3. see 1

I have to say I agree with you, this IS a marketing trick, i just happen to think that it wont work.
