How does You.com make money?

We are currently focused on building the best possible search experience. We will explore monetization ideas in the future, and we look forward to your feedback in that process.

Currently, You.com doesn’t include ads in our search results. None of the results you’re seeing get preferential treatment due to advertising. We may experiment with private ads in the future: You look for an air compressor – you may see an air compressor ad. But it won’t be linked to you or invade your privacy. However, none of the ad platforms we work with will invade your privacy. You.com will never follow you around the Internet or sell your data.

You.com currently gets (a tiny amount of) revenue through affiliate links. We earn a part of the profit for some of the products in the Walmart app. Affiliate relationships do not affect the way we display or rank products in any way, and we plan to keep it that way.
