Below you will find Beanstalk’s most recent press release. It will be interesting reading for those of you who donated to sponsor our run for breast cancer research or who just care about other people. 
SEO’s Raise Over $2,500 For Breast Cancer
Top SEO company Beanstalk Search Engine Optimization, Inc. along with other SEO’s, clients and friends helped raise over $2,500 for breast cancer research. They did this through their participation in the CIBC Run For The Cure campaign.
Victoria, BC October 15, 2008 – Beanstalk Search Engine Optimization, Inc. CEO Dave Davies and President Mary Davies participated in the CIBC Run For The Cure event to raise money for breast cancer research. Through seeking donations from other SEO’s as well as clients and friends their initial goal was $1,500.
“We were overwhelmed with the number of donations we received from our friends in the industry as well as from those who passed by our house, saw the sign in our yard inviting them to donate and who actually took the time to do so.” said Dave Davies of the fund raising.
The cause became especially important to Beanstalk when Mary Davies was informed that her cousin was fighting breast cancer. Their team in the run was Team Heather and all the staff of Beanstalk wish her every success in her fight against cancer.
Both Dave and Mary would like to extend a very special thanks to the following companies for their very generous donations:
Metro Hi Speed
The fine folks at Metro Hi Speed donated a very generous $500 to the cause. They also happen to provide the great Internet fax services that Beanstalk uses on a daily basis.
We Build Pages
You can always count on Jim Boykin and the We Build Pages team to back a great cause. They’ve done a lot for charity and for the SEO community as a whole.
WeDo Hosting Canada
And a HUGE thanks go out to the company where Dave Davies got his SEO start – WeDo Hosting Canada. Easily one of the best web hosting companies that Beanstalk has the pleasure of working with.
This is not the only charity event that Beanstalk is or will be involved in. They currently sponsor four children in El Salvador and will soon be offering discounts and even running periodic contests for registered non-profit charities for free SEO services. More details will be available on the contest and charity discounts on Beanstalk Charity SEO page.

Today is the last day to sponsor Beanstalk CEO Dave Davies and President Mary Davies as they run for breast cancer research.
The run begins tomorrow at 9am PST and so if you’d like to be included with the permanent listings on http://www.beanstalk-inc.com/bsi/charity/run-for-cure.htm and to get included in the press release going out next week through PR Web – today’s the day.
Remember, it’s a good cause, it’s tax deductible and you’ll get a listing on our site as long as you fit the criteria noted on the page.
So get to it.
SEO news blog post by Dave Davies, CEO @ 2:20 pm
Alright, I’ve noticed that my friends in the SEO community are being overshadowed in their donations to our efforts to raise money for breast cancer research by our clients, friends and even (didn’t see this one coming) to the people who walk by our house, read our sign and drop a donation into our mailbox. Alright people – that is kind of sad BUT it’s a huge plus for our blog readers, clients and others. We’ve now crossed $1000 earned and that doesn’t even include the $500 Beanstalk will be adding to the total.
And so I’m going to try something a little different – I’ll try giving a little and in return, I’m hoping that breast cancer research will get a little something back.
Giving A Little:
I’ve been giving quite a bit of thought to what tid-bit of info to give so I’m going to leave that up to you to decide. We’re the #1 ranking site for “seo services” so ask away. Let me know what you want to know with the sole exception of “How did you get to be #1?” which would require a book of info but we’ll answer any one question. Send them in between now and the end of the week and the question with the highest number will get answered on our blog, even if it’s “a secret”.
Get A Little:
The goal of this trade will be to inspire our blog readers (AND SEO’s) to give back in the way of a donation to breast cancer research. The donation is tax deductable, gets you a listing forever on our Run For The Cure page and some other cool incentives.
So:
So, send us your questions by this Friday we’ll answer the question that we received the most of. And then donate – or donate first, it’s good for the soul.

As many of you may be aware, Mary Davies (Beanstalk’s President), Kathryn Robinson (One of our best link builders), and myself (Beanstalk’s CEO) along with some friends and family have formed Beanstalk’s Team Heather and on October 5th we’ll be participating in the CIBC Run For The Cure – an annual fund raising effort to help fund breast cancer research.
We’re doing MANY things to raise money for the effort as it’s an issue that’s close to our hearts since Mary’s cousin Heather (and thus the name Team Heather) was diagnosed with breast cancer.
One of those efforts was putting up a page on our site with some cool incentives for people to sponsor our team and help raise money for this worthwhile cause (note: it’s tax deductable as well).
Another effort, as we live right by the water in beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada was to put out a table with donation forms and information on our team and the charity. Those who made a donation or even just signed our guestbook with good wishes got to take a pink ribbon and tie it to our fence where it would stay until after the race.
Someone stole our table.
That’s right, they took the guestbook and ribbons off (thanks at least for that) and they actually stole the table of people using the table to raise money for charity.
Now fortunately we have extras and once again this morning the table is out where it’ll remain all day but seriously – who raises someone who steals tables that are there to raise money for charity? I wasn’t sure whether to be ticked off or just laugh. I chose to laugh and rant a bit on the blog. I seem to be doing that lately.
So, my thought is that there’s always some good with the bad. We had our misfortune last night – my hope is that this blog post will inspire our valued blog readers to visit our Breast Cancer Run page or our charity page and make a donation. And we’re not just asking for a free handout. We’re willing to give a little back. How much depends on the donation. Be sure to visit our Team Heather page for more info. You’ll be glad you did.
