Help to raise a charity's Face book profile to raise funds
-
Hi,
I am new here and its my first question.
I am helping a charity on pro-bono basis on their SEO. They do a great job by looking after terminally ill children with no costs to parents. 60% of their funding is through various fund raising events.
They know some well known actors and sports personality who may be willing to help.
They have asked my to look at their Facebook page and help to
- raise its profile and no of likes
- increase interaction with donors & general public and most importantly
- use it to raise funds
Any ideas/ help/suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Syed

Syed, oh, I like that photo session idea. See, you are well on your way. Good luck, this sounds like a terrific project!

Hi Andrea,
Thank you very much for replying and adding the interesting competition concept to the list by Jason.
I will have to think really hard as to how to offer something unique but your idea of "chatting with celebrities" is a very good one, perhaps a photo session with the winners family!
Again thank you.
Regards,
Syed

Hi Jason, Thank you very much for your reply. I really like the idea of donate button which I did not know, so thanks for teaching my something new. Really appreciated. I will update this post in a few months time to show how we have got on. Regards, Syed

I agree with Jason and will raise one other consideration: give them a reason to care about the page beyond it being a good cause. Donating is nice, seeing some content is nice, but neither necessarily will catch someone's attention. Can you set up something where people can post to win a chance to have a chat with one of the celebrities? Is there some sort of contest or something you can promote? Think of something unique that will drive the conversations and want people to check the page and engage.
I, personally, have stopped liking most pages because I don't get much reason to actually engage, unless I have a situation I need to address (like, customer service). I want to see a unique opportunity, just because I donated to a cause doesn't mean I want to read their status updates because sharing news doesn't equal engagement.
Just something to think about to get some "hooks" for the audience.

Hey, here is what I would do:
1. Install a donate app onto your facebook fan page
a. Make sure that the charity has an account that the donations can go to (most use paypal)
2. Use your friend base and the friend base of your friends to promote your page by asking them to like it and sharing it. (Trying to make it viral)
3. Monitor the Facebook page for interactions and peoples comments so you can interact with them as the page.
4. have the Celebrities endorse your fan page by asking them to share it on their walls
5. Post content regularly so people get updated about the charity
Those are just some steps I would take in order to promote the charity.

How can you tell if a competitors' FB post was boosted?
Does anyone know how to identify if a FB post was boosted or not? Does FB or a third party software have that capability? Thanks, Ruben

Does Google prefer YouTube video's embedded on a site or put in a Pop up image class for SEO purposes
Our company is an eCommerce site for aftermarket automotive accessories, we have been posting videos on our site. On some pages we have videos embedded from Youtube and on other pages the videos are embedded but in a Popup Image Class. Below I'll provide an example of one way we put the popup image class on our site <iframe id="vidf" style="display:none;" width="460" height="320" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/MattCutts?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Now concerning SEO would it be better just to embed a video the traditional way or use the popup image class? The reason I ask is because the popup image class hides the video on the page with an image on top then once you click that image the video pops up. Can Google still crawl/see the video? What would be best practice for SEO?

Authorship's Back. Could a custom URL be why?
Hey Everyone, First, thanks to everyone for providing me suggestions on how to get my authorship picture back. Sure enough, we did it get it back, but not for any reason that makes sense to me. We got it back within hours of changing our g+ url to a custom one (google provided us with one a few months ago, but I didn't like it, so I didn't change it). Well, now I figured, why not? We have to do something to get our authorship back, and after making that change within hours, we had our picture displaying again. While I know this could be a coincidence, we haven't written anything new since we lost it in mid December. So, it can't be some influx of great content. And, since google is getting more strict about authorship, I don't see how we would have lost it in the first place, only to get it back without anything additional worked on yet. The only change is the custom URL. I know this is not ANY sort of scientific proof, but I figured I'd just throw my experience out there for others to see. Could this be the reason? Has anyone else had anything like this happen? Good luck to everyone else who is working on getting their picture back! Though I can't tell you how to do it, I can tell you it can change back within a few weeks. Best, Ruben

I can't see the new Facebook Insights.
Is anyone else having trouble seeing the new Facebook Insights page? If I click on Insights I get a message at the top that says, "Take me to the new Page Insights" but if I click on it it does nothing. Apparently people are "talking about me" and I can't see the new stats!
