AMP will contribute $1 to Greening Australia for every 'click' it receives on their website by 20 August 2004 (up to $10 000). You don't have to give any personal details, you just have to visit their website and click on a box, that's it, and they will give $1 to Greening Australia, so please spread the word!

The money raised will go to the Glossy Black-Cockatoo project on Kangaroo Island, SA. There are only 280 of these birds left in the world, they are critically endangered.

Please visit the AMP website and click till you can't click no more!!...

I've often wondered about tactics used like in the above. If AMP is willing to donate up to $10,000 why cant they just donate it all anyway?

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm of the same mind there.

"We'll donate 2c from every can of cat food sold" or something.

Oh well, I guess it's so they get advertising and/or sell products as well as making themselves look good by donating.

At least they are donating.

True that.
*makes with the clicky*

Don't know if it'll work but I've set my computer to retrieve the linked to URL on the button 10,000 times. They may not count multiple hits from people or have a limit of hits each person can make but otherwise it'll be fine and all the possible hits will have happened.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

It accepts one hit per day per person as far as I know.

[arkem.livejournal.com]

I've modified my program to click it every 6 hours instead then. Probably more polite than hammering them was.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Would that maybe crash the site due to the traffic?

[arkem.livejournal.com]

I was hitting them at a rate of about 40 hits a minute maximum. It'd would have to be about 1000 hits a minute before it could possibly became an issue. Unless they had some infirmity in the network infrastructure already it shouldn't really be possible for me to overwhelm the web server with (at a guess) 10% of the bandwidth available.

Unless some bored IT tech was personally looking at the logs for the 90 minutes or so my script was running I doubt they even noticed.

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Okay.

You know more about how those things work than I do. ;)

Thanks for the linkie! *clicks* I try to hit http://www.thehungersite.com every day; they have related pages that fundraise for breast cancer, the rainforest, children in need, and animals.

Ooh thanks for mentioning that site! That's another site I had on my Opera toolbar...I need to add it back (just reinstalled Opera and I didn't make a list >_<).

[mabapunta.livejournal.com]

This site is added to my Opera toolbar and I'll click it whenever I remember to do so. Gracias!
