I believe the reason of confusion was because on the search box page, you called it tracking code, or something like that, but in the spread page it was called spread code, and the explanation of what it was wasn't clear. And I would be willing to volunteer to re-write an explanation. And - I believe that many people's main motivation of spreading DDG was because of the possibly being on the top of that leaderboard. In fact, that was my motivation, but I finally came to wanting to promote DDG, and I decided to do it the next day, and boom, the next day the leaderboard was gone.

Not driving a lot of traffic?

I know it's not a lot (I know you have about 5,000,000 searches every month), but I bet a lot of people are loyal users, and I bet that some of them came from people who promoted DDG using the spread code.

Please reply. Thanks!
