Charity by SEO
I read a blog post over at SEO Factor Giving SEO links to Charity. SEO Factor is a freelance SEO, that has found it in his heart to give the best gift he can give a charity a link. Links are one of the most important factors in Search Engine Optimization. A company often spends thousands of dollars a month on SEO and SEM (Search Engine Marketing) but charities and non-profits don’t always get to spend money on organizing efforts or campaign building on the internet. So at the request of SEO Factor’s Josh Garner I have chosen non-profit.
The non profit I have chosen is Wake up WalMart Americas campaign to change WalMart. We all know the terrible stories of walmart driving down wages and hurting the small business while its leaders make billions in profits. WalMart has started a business that has the potential to hurt freelance and corporate SEO’s. So for my charity I choose them to hopefully help them strike back against Walmart with Free online Marketing.

This might seem selfish by us at first, but it’s the idea that these very large companies are throwing a “service” up that degrades the value of someone offering a legitimate service, while ripping off consumers. So this isn’t just for us SEO’s, it’s for the small business owners being misled.
I used to head an “SEO department” for one of these companies, and it got to a point where I couldn’t sleep. It makes me sick to think of how greedy people can be, that they would be will to sacrifice every shred of integrity and honesty to make $80. Bah! Now I’m ranting. Good pick, Chris.
