Driving Web Traffic through Coordinated Public Relations
http://www.npadvisors.com/newcontent/100494.asp
by Rick Christ

The easiest and cheapest way to acquire new supporters online is by using the media to draw interested visitors to your site. After all, that’s what most disaster giving is predicated upon – news stories that offer links to “how you can help.”

Take Our Annual Survey, You Could Be The Winner
Complete our survey by 1/31/07 for a chance to win
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=397863065520
by ePhilanthropy Foundation

Could you spare a few moments to complete this ANONYMOUS survey that will aid in planning for our 2007 ePhilanthropy Foundation educational programming? 


You can even make sure you are the first to know about some exciting new initiatives to help you succeed online in 2007.

Additionally, if you choose to enter into our drawing, two lucky survey respondents will be chosen at random to receive an autographed copy of our latest book, Major Donors: Finding Big Gifts in your Database and Online.


It would be particularly helpful if you would complete this survey BEFORE January 31, 2007.

Thank you!
