I'd love to have you take a look. <a href="http://page.ly" target="_blank">http://page.ly</a> Within two minutes a person can have hosting, a domain name, email, and a WordPress site. Also, it comes with popular plugins. It makes the process even faster. All the best, Sally Hi Allan,

I would also consider looking at <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-nonprofit.html" target="_blank">Dreamhost's Nonprofit hosting</a>, which is free, can host a lot of files, and is already set up for Google Apps and Wordpress with a one click install.

We treat dot com as the first stepping stone for the smaller community groups we work with - see <a href="http://www.coldean.org.uk" target="_blank">www.coldean.org.uk</a> - and I'm struggling to find much info about how to get the most form it before upgrading, esp through integrating the use of other tools such as google calendars, flickr, etc. esp for collaborative use within groups of volunteers. Any help welcome - I'm blogging about it at <a href="http://www.scipmark.org.uk" target="_blank">www.scipmark.org.uk</a> Thanks Mark Walker Hello

Both myself and Beth Kanter took a look at this book and found that it was extremely useful in understanding web traffic. I was already pretty into web analytics before the book and it served to validate techniques I was already using. Learning from this book will give you a huge leg up on improving your website traffic. Generally speaking, most startup/small nonprofits don’t have a lot of traffic on their websites and seriously need to work their sites in order to get a modicum of traffic. I found a pretty good tool for “grading” your Web site at http://website.grader.com/. It encapsulates things I’ve talked about recently regarding website design. Seriously, please read that last link. I find myself repeating it over and over again to my nonprofit manager friends. Once you’ve read the Web Analytics book and found out how your website is faring, you’ll have to start giving marching orders to your website designer/developer. Just ensure that your techie follows Google’s webmaster guidelines and if you’re using Wordpress to follow the suggestions at this incredibly good Wordpress SEO article. For an added bonus, make sure your techie is also aware of Matt Cutts’ blog about Google and SEO. At the very least, you can put up a basic web site aka brochureware and work forward from there. Getting a decent Google PageRank of 4 and above and a site that at least pays attention to SEO would put you ahead of many other nonprofits out there. I definitely recommend Wordpress for small nonprofits and installing SEO plugins for Wordpress.

The Search Reloaded plugin fixes the rubbish search facility in WordPress. The Search Everything plugin ensures that pages as well as posts are searchable. Need training videos for WordPress? - then visit the new official <a href="http://www.wordpress.tv" target="_blank">www.wordpress.tv</a> site. All nonprofits should apply to <a href="http://www.google.com/grants" target="_blank">www.google.com/grants</a> for free advertising. Google Analytics is easy to install, free and gives great stats reports. May I suggest a few more things? The Search Reloaded plugin fixes the rubbish search facility in WordPress.
