SEO Resource (www.seoresource.net), a search engine optimization firm that works with non-profit organizations and helps small to medium-sized businesses achieve top search engine rankings, announced on September 13 that it is taking Google up on their Google Grants offer (www.google.com/grants), which awards free AdWords advertising to non-profit charitable organizations.
The Google Grants committee, which consists of Google employees and is responsible for reviewing the applications and for selecting award recipients, has already confirmed that 80-percent of the non-profit organizations have met the criteria of the grants program.
Kevin S. Kantola, CEO of SEO Resource, stated that SEO Resource is working with such organizations as U. S. Doctors for Africa and Neuroscience Initiative to give those non-profits exposure on the Internet and help connect them with donors and volunteers who wish to help with their causes, and that the Google Grants program is an excellent avenue for increasing exposure for those websites and complements the search engine optimization work that SEO Resource does.
Google Vice President of global online sales and operations, Sheryl Sandburg, claimed on various websites that Google wants to give back to the community and that it would be a great opportunity for Google to refer people interested in the topics that those non-profits work on.
