Search & Social Media Survival Guide

Non-profit SEO was on my mind for some time at least as long as I have known the Graphic Alliance, a social designers network of companies and individuals dedicated to social campaigns, non-profit advertising and media activism.

SEO for non-profits is by now a popular concept as I found out doing a little research on Google.

Some of the best industry names come up. There are several resources and examples that might be a good start if you’re from a non-profit and are looking for SEO services. Some consultants and companies even offer discounts or special offers for non-profits, but that’s not all, just check my list:

So you see: SEO is not evil as people who hate SEO assume. Those people offend me even without checking out my site or knowing who I am. I already optimized websites about eco homes or solar energy. Currently I work for a big bike manufacturer selling 50k affordable bicycles a year.

    Thanks for the mention! Non-profits are trying to make the world better for everyone; it feels great to be able to pay them back.

    Dude totally dig what you’ve been doing here. It is good to see someone actually getting out there and actually making a impact on this earth.

    I too would like to help out and would be very happy to do some non profit seo for those who are interested.

    I will be doing this in my field as well. Shooting for karma points, that has to play into the algorithm at some point anyway right ;)

    Your link for #9 is dead. Aaron Wall just put out an SEM for Non-profits guide that can take its place. I just made a post about non-profit search engine optimization strategy thats pretty comprehensive, which I’m steadily improving.

    I’ve checked all links now and added Aaron Wall’s resource plus a few more.

    Nice. The tips on Google Grants and AdWords is a good one.

    Certainly all worth knowing but a blog is probably the best SEO tool a NPO can have. OK, that’s not a resource per se, but it’s still worth a mention, eh?

    Agreed on the ethics of not for profit – but then i guess this kind of thing only lends its self to certain marketing niches – but a great read and food for thought never the less!

    Thanks for the post.

    Google once said “do no evil”. If we all followed that logic just a few more times each week, the world would be a much better place. I like that you wrote this to begin with and that you re-hashed it with updated resources. I’m inspired!

    Stopping by to say “thanks” for the mention! Keep up the good work.

Post a Comment

Please mind the commenting netiquette, most notably:

  • A "name" is a real name or nick name, not a keyword! SEO Company is wrong. John Doe of Google is OK.
  • For the "website" URL: No deep links allowed unless it's your "about" page.
  • No extra signature allowed, one "website" link is enough.
  • No bot-like "Thank you" comments with no context or added value to the post.
