If everyone searching on LinkAtlas today donated just $5, we could keep this project running for years. But we don't run ads. We don't sell your data. We depend entirely on readers like you.
Please, if you find value in an AI-free search experience, take a moment to help us keep it alive.
Donate NowEvery day, millions of AI-generated articles flood the internet. Blog posts written by machines in seconds. Product reviews that no human ever wrote. "News" articles churned out by algorithms. The web is becoming a wasteland of synthetic content.
Traditional search engines don't care. They index everything. AI-generated spam ranks alongside genuine human knowledge. Real voices are being drowned out. Bloggers, researchers, creators, experts: all buried under an endless tide of machine-generated noise.
We believe this is one of the most important problems of our time. The internet was built for human connection and knowledge sharing. We're fighting to keep it that way.
LinkAtlas is a search engine for the human web. We crawl the internet ourselves, analyze every page for signs of AI-generated content, and filter it out before it ever reaches your search results.
When you search on LinkAtlas, you find real perspectives from real people. Blog posts written with genuine passion. Articles researched and crafted by human experts. Reviews from people who actually used the product. Knowledge shared by humans, for humans.
Like Wikipedia, we believe that knowledge should be free and accessible to everyone. Unlike Wikipedia, we're not an encyclopedia. We're a gateway to the entire human-written web. And like Wikipedia, we depend entirely on the support of people like you.
Running a search engine isn't cheap. Unlike a simple website, LinkAtlas requires massive infrastructure running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Here's what your donations help pay for:
Our web crawler runs continuously, visiting millions of pages. This requires powerful servers with high CPU and memory.
Every page we index needs to be stored, analyzed, and made searchable. Our database grows larger every day.
Analyzing content for AI patterns requires significant compute power. Every page is processed through our detection systems.
Crawling the web means downloading billions of pages. Bandwidth costs add up quickly at this scale.
Serving fast search results to users requires optimized infrastructure with redundancy and caching.
The crawler never sleeps. Neither do our servers. Maintaining uptime requires constant monitoring.
Running a 24/7 web crawler with AI detection costs
Thousands per month
in server costs, bandwidth, storage, and compute resources
We have no investors. No venture capital. No corporate backing. This is intentional. The moment we take outside money, we answer to shareholders instead of users. We'd face pressure to monetize your data, sell ads, or compromise our mission.
We have no ads. Search engines make billions by selling your attention to advertisers. Results get skewed toward whoever pays the most. We refuse to participate in this system. Your search results are ranked by relevance and quality. Nothing else.
We don't sell your data. We don't track you. We don't build profiles. We don't know who you are, and we like it that way. Privacy isn't a feature. It's a fundamental right.
This leaves one option: you.
Like public radio, like Wikipedia, like the great public institutions that serve everyone equally, LinkAtlas depends on the generosity of the people who use it. We're asking you to invest in a better internet.

Start SearchingWe will never show ads. Ever. Your attention is not for sale.
We will never track you or sell your data. Your searches are yours alone.
LinkAtlas will always be free to use. Knowledge shouldn't have a paywall.
Every decision we make prioritizes our users over profit.
Every generation faces a moment where they must decide what kind of world they want to live in. For the internet, that moment is now. Help us build a web that serves humans, not algorithms.
Thank you for believing in a better internet.
