Volunteer SEM
As
world disasters mount, SEMcares.com calls upon it’s
SEM provider colleagues to volunteer services to
deserving relief organizations.
Los
Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- SEMCares.com,
a not-for-profit organization created by the search
engine marketing (SEM) and optimization community
today announced the organization has added Pakistan
Earthquake and Wilma Hurricane relief site links to
aid volunteer SEM providers in finding appropriate
relief organizations.
SEMcares.com urges it’s SEM provider brethren to volunteer services to deserving relief organizations to help those organizations increase visitor donations hence, help to people in need.
SEMCares.com’s purpose is twofold;
One, to act as a focal point to rally the search engine marketing community to help those in need through volunteering SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM skills to exponentially increase visitors, awareness, and financial aid to disaster/relief organizations and worthy causes.
Two, to act as a contact point for non-profit and relief organizations wishing to connect with volunteer SEM providers.
Most recently, as an example of the latter, SEMcares.com is seeking to find volunteer SEM providers to work with Oxfam.org. (If you are an interested volunteer SEM provider, please contact SEMcares.org here: http://www.semcares.com/contact.php.
SEMCares.com believes that SEM can dramatically increase relief site donations and hence help, food, and supplies to those in need.
One success example illustrates just how volunteered SEM services can EXPONENTIALLY increase relief organizations’ visitors with only a small investment of time or money.
This real world example of this was provided by a contributor to SEMCares.com: - The donor spent 2 hours setting up Google Adwords for "Tsunami" related keywords for a designated relief site- The donor then spent $86.14 in Adwords - The Adwords campaign delivered 1,496 visitors + 114,446 ad impressions to the designated relief site that they would not have normally received.
Now, if just 1% or 15 of those 1,496 visitors donated just $10 dollars, then that relief organization received $150.00 they would have normally not received plus in excess of 100,000 ad or "brand" impressions.
”Many other industries have focused their efforts to help with awareness and relief efforts to aid disaster victims, and I felt search engine marketing and search engine optimization industry could do the same,” said Gregory Markel, founder of SEMCares.com.
“I'm very happy to report that SEMcares.com seems to have had measurable impact using SEM to increase relief donations.”
Through its contribution board, SEMCares.com keeps track of both the volunteered man hours and dollar value of paid search donated by SEM provider contributors.
To date, SEMCares.com has generated:
313 Man Hours and $4,777 dollars in paid search benefiting deserving relief organizations including:

• American Red Cross

Added Markel: “Speaking personally, this experience coupled with knowing how powerful SEM can be, has inspired my company and I to offer 100% of our services directly multiple non-profits at no charge. I ask my fellow SEM providers to consider volunteering even the smallest amount of your time to helping a deserving relief organization increase it's donations through your SEM expertise.”??
