A website may seem like an easy way to transfer information from a nonprofit to its desired audience; however, updating a website can often be challenging to say the least.

    No Follow Tags: Double-Edged Sword?
    The nofollow debate is not new. The “rel=nofollow” attribute for anchor tags was created as a counter to the spurge of comment spamming that had become the bane of blogs (and forums) all over the Net. This attribute can also be implemented at a meta tag level to affect multiple links. While the syntax might suggest the attribute tells crawlers to ignore the link and not follow it, some empirical evidence suggests that these crawlers follow nofollow links regardless - I’m still not convinced either way. Either the spiders are following it and just ignoring the PR transfer, or they're getting there via another link that omits the tag. I suppose the lesson here is that it’s safer to use the robots noindex tag to keep the bots out of where you don't want them. Anyway, what we know for sure is that the search engine spiders disregard the links' SEO value as a backlink for the target page. The tag's use has evolved, and we find people using it for any link where they don't want to cast an SEO vote for the site they're linking to. There are plenty of times this would be perfe

  • Good links management results in a positive weight given by the search engines for search positioning. The algorithms used for weighting one page over another require link popularity assessment for successful traffic to your website. Link popularity is also one of the main contributions to Google and Alexa Page Rank. How do you achieve link popularity? It can be tedious and requires careful attention to the selection of the links, but there are several means that can be employed:
    • Reciprocal Links - Search for relevant and desired web pages with which to trade links
    • Purchase Page Rank-based links to boost your relevance and weight in the eyes of search engines
    • List with directories, paid or unpaid that will give your website additional exposure
    • Create the links with link text in mind, designed to utilize relevant keywords
    • Link only with websites that have decent PageRank (PR); i.e., PR of 3 at a minimum, PR of 4 would be the ideal minimum
    • Blogs - web logs linked to your site or posting to popular blogs with your links included to point traffic back to your site; a good strategy is to employ pinging with the blog posting

  • Forums -- forum participation that allows you to leave your link with the intent of attracting traffic back to your site
  • Listing with the few free search engines and directories is essential although you won't see any results for months
  • Develop an email list subscription function on your site with the intent of sending e-newsletters and announcements on a regular basis. This subscription list can be used for several other campaigns, including the sale of advertising space on your newsletter.
  • Purchase sponsorship on other email lists where you can promote your product and/or services as well as get your website promoted in the process.
  • Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns with Google and Yahoo Search Marketing where you purchase advertising space for keywords that are popular for your industry if you are not in a saturated market. If your business operates in a saturated internet market, seek niche keywords for your PPC advertising. Determine your budget first and from there, you will know how much you can afford for the positioning your desire. It's all mathematical:
    • Price Per Click = monthly budget/number of clicks or
    • Number of clicks = monthly budget/price per click

    Some combination of price and number of clicks will result from a well-designed and constantly monitored campaign. The important result to watch is the conversion rate. How many paid clicks convert into the desired result; i.e., new contract, sale of product, sign up for e-newsletter, etc.

  Finally, after the hard-core efforts that are directly related to generating traffic to your website, you will want to create follow-on, additional traffic that is under your control. Several methods exist for this strategy:

  • Taking the large list of ancillary keywords that relate directly or indirectly to your website, begin purchasing keyword related domain names that will be used to create traffic driving websites that point to your money site.
  • Setup satellite pages using the keyword domain names that are heavily populated and geared toward keyword designed to develop niche market traffic. As you develop niche markets that create new customers, you are going to be able to capitalize on those customers for the other prod
