Link Love :: With a positive purpose

Scott Baradell, Media Orchard, wants some Link Love, so I’m sharing it with him.

This is a wonderful opportunity to revisit a project that I think has promise and virtue for everyone that chooses to participate.

…nothing wrong
with wanting links, they have their place.
But how about giving back?

Let us revisit Operation Link Love - PR Bloggers “Pay It Forward” and Give Back. Read that post and the associated links to see what the project is all about. Or, go straight to The NewPR/Wiki page for all the details.

This is a project all about links that can serve a positive purpose. I hope you will get involved. Write about the viability of social media for nonprofits. Find a nonprofit blog that you can add to the wiki list. Link to them, and I bet they will link back. So, everyone wins.

I’m working on a fix for the image code. For now, feel free to hotlink to the image above.

    As any of our clients, non profit organizations should benefit, as pro-bono work, from the new PR services i.e. blogs that we can offer (as PR professionals). I mean blogs, not just links. I know many non-profit in France who hardly have a decent web-site. Not only, we could invite them into the blogosphere by explaining how it works but also guide them in producing a powerful tool for their own purposes.
    It’s a great idea, you have there.

    PS : I cannot copy the LoveLink logo on my blog. Am the only one who have this problem?

    Hey Philippe,

    Thank you for the comment. I agree. I have long offered, and continue to, any help for nonprofits seeking to start blogs. I’ve even helped local firms start them - for free.

    You are right about the powerful help your firm and all of us can provide to these nonprofits. If each of us, in the 400+ PR blogging community, just took on one of them - think of the impact we could have.

    Thanks for your support of the project.

    I’m sorry about the image code. I’ve just noticed that my blog is doing strange things in Internet Explorer. Thought I’d fixed that, but alas - no. Are you using IE?

    I will send you the code and also try to fix the blog’s format and the code for all to use.

    Thank you.
