While I was traveling to China and last week Canada (more about that in a few weeks) I was tagged for a variety of memes. Well I’m not big on memes as I pointed out here even though I wrote a huge post about the “5 things you didn’t know about me” meme. But this one is different and I was tagged by none other than Kim Krause Berg, which makes this compulsory. The reason this meme is different is because it is for a good cause or should I say good causes. This meme was originated at SEORefugee in an attempt to promote charities. This is in fact a Charity Link Meme. Here is the info as posted on SEORefuge.

The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favorite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by tagging 5 other webmasters/bloggers and then publishing the post or the webpage. Then drop a comment at the end of this post or email me at bcook at seorefugee.com. I’ll try to keep the list up to date but if the meme does in fact take off I might have trouble keeping up

Kim chose the following non-profits to promote:

A Million Thanks - Shauna Fleming rounds up letters of thanks for Troops
One - Fighting Aids and Poverty
Louis Braille School - My personal tribute to Elizabeth Able on her and her mother’s devotion to the blind.
