A quick reminder about Google’s free advertising programme for charities
Howard Lake | 28 August 2007 | Blogs
Everyone with a website, or a blog, will know the importance of using search engine marketing (SEM) to help drive traffic their way. However, based on a couple of recent conversations I’ve had, what not everyone knows is that Google funds a special programme to make this easier for registered nonprofits operating in 16 countries around the world.
Called Google Grants, it offers at least three months of free advertising through its AdWords advertising product to organisations it selects based on an online application process.
Google Grants recipients are only chosen every three months and after completing the online application form you will be informed within six months whether you have been awarded a grant. So, if you are currently using SEM – or have a website and haven’t yet tested it – take a look at their website and see if you can get yourself some free AdWords advertising.
