Meritline.com Sponsors DonorsChoose.org to Promote Students in Need!

Meritline.com and DonorsChoose.org Join Together, via RankAbove’s Give Back Initiative for Not-for-Profits, to Promote Educational Causes Online.
Jerusalem, Israel – January 13th, 2011 –Meritline.com (www.meritline.com), a top tier online provider of electronic products and accessories, is now the proud sponsor of DonorsChoose.org (www.donorschoose.org), an online charity connecting donors to classrooms in need. Meritline.com has been working with RankAbove (www.rankabove.com), a leading provider of search engine optimization technology, for almost a year. With their launch of The Give Back Initiative - a project allowing clients to sponsor not-for-profit organizations in SEO services - Meritline.com quickly seized the opportunity to support DonorsChoose.org.

By combining RankAbove’s search engine optimization technology, knowledge and expertise, teachers at DonorsChoose.org now have a better chance of being found on the internet – by being found higher for example on Google’s search results pages and having their classroom needs fulfilled and then realized. This thanks to Meritline.com.

Meritline.com’s international affiliate program allows them to provide premium electronic products to five different countries. As a socially conscious company they are constantly looking for ways to give back the community. Joseph Craig, Marketing Manager of Meritline.com was excited at the chance to be a part of such a great project. Craig said “We are always happy to support educational projects. We wish our friends at DonorsChoose.org the success we have seen with RankAbove in optimizing their site. They are doing a great thing!”

DonorsChoose.org has successfully enabled the funding of over one hundred seventy-five thousand projects, totaling over $72 million. Public school teachers from every corner of America can post classroom project requests on the DonorsChoose.org website. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class. Each project request has its own DonorsChoose.org webpage and if a donor is inspired to help the project they are able to donate online. Once a project reaches its funding goal, DonorsChoose.org delivers the materials to the school.

Through RankAbove, a leading technology player in the search industry, Meritline.com has connected DonorsChoose.org with unprecedented access to Drive, RankAbove’s proprietary SEO platform. In addition, RankAbove is also providing full training with the technology and devotes a portion of its employee’s time to helping the DonorChoose.org team to raise and improve their online profile.

“We are delighted to be working with RankAbove”, said Alan McGee, Director of Web Analytics & Digital Marketing at DonorsChoose.org. McGee added, “the benefit of being in control of our search engine optimization is a huge gain for us. The instruction and advice given to us by RankAbove’s Drive platform is invaluable. We are now able to efficiently optimize pages that highlight classroom needs, increasing their likelihood of discovery through organic search. This will help teachers reach a larger audience, and introduce more donors to classroom projects on DonorsChoose.org . We’re so grateful to Meritline.com for this opportunity. “

RankAbove launched its Give Back initiative earlier this year in a bid to bring to the wider not-for-profit community benefits of higher Google rankings. Such positioning can lead to increased PR opportunities and increased donations to their causes. By using well tested search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, RankAbove's search processionals use their technology to work to success with its not-for-profit partners. "We are delighted to be involved with DonorsChoose.org which is a fantastic organization.” said Shira Topiol Director of RankAbove’s Give Back program. Topiol added “as Meritline.com and other clients work with us to improve their online awareness they enable NPO’s like DonorsChoose.org to do the same, helping promote the teachers projects faster and get their budgets realized faster so they can get on with their job in improving our students minds - It’s a win-win situation for all".
