At last! A worthwhile link-train - The Charity Meme!
Posted by Shaun AndersonHurrah! I’ve been tagged and unlike a few others this link train actually has a bit of merit! Basically it’s a Charity link train. The idea is to help these charities rank high in Google for keywords and this is achieved simply by the type of anchor text rich links on this page.
Here’s the original train with Andy’s links added
- American Red Cross - disaster relief
- Raleigh Rescue Mission - homeless raleigh
- SOS Children’s Villages - sponsor a child
- Samaritan’s Purse - emergency relief programs
- St. Jude Children’s Hospital - cancer research
- Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders - Humanitarian Relief
- American Red Cross - Emergency Preparedness
- AMREF - African Medical & Research Foundation - African Health Development
- DOROT - Programs for Elderly
- Feed the Children - Protect Children
- Service International - Disaster Relief
- Pujols Family Foundation - Children with Down Syndrome
- National Alliance to End Homelessness - Homelessness
- The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research - Parkinson’s Research
- Ronald McDonald Care Mobile Program - Child Healthcare
- Aids Research Alliance - Aids Research
- Wildlife Conservation Society - Wildlife Protection
- Cancer Research Institute - Cancer Research
- Second Harvest - End Hunger
- AARP Foundation - Helping Senior Citizens
- The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity - Polish Charity
- CPR For Schools Across Poland - CPR Training
- Program of Insulin Pumps in Diabetic Children Therapy - Insulin Pumps For Children
- Non-invasive Neonatal Breathing Support - Infant Flow
- Program of Universal Neonatal Hearing Screenings - Neonatal Hearing
- Ardgowan Hospice - Lymphoedema Clinic
As I’m from Greenock in Scotland I have added Ardgowan Hospice to the list to benefit from this link love (jeez the page is titled “untitled document” - better get over there right away!)
I want to get involved and I hope I am not mucking things up by only adding 1 to the list but I am away for the next couple of days.
———-
The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favorite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by tagging 5 other webmasters/bloggers and then publishing the post or the webpage.

The meme was started over at SEO Refugee by Skitzoo.
OK Time to tag some people (to be honest this is my first time tagging). No great science about it - I’ve tagged a couple of people who have taken the time to comment on my site or I have found their site of interest in the last couple of weeks:
Hope you join in!

Hello Shaun,
This is a nice meme to be going around. I’m all for giving to charity.
It’ll help those who are searching for worthwhile charities to actually find them, rather than a for-profit organisation.
Thanks for the mention, and I’ll make a note of your tag.

This tag train from Andy is a great idea!
Similar to this train, we tried to come up with a new way of raising money at Bloglyne through our 1st contest of which we are down to the last 36 or so hours - There have been some great comments and I hope some new ideas which have come about due to the way we set up our contest.
Keep up the good work!
