Comments on: Who Won the Giving Season?

Readers, there's a great checklist of what you ought to do to prepare for success in the Giving Seaso. Folks, this is what I'm talking about when it comes to transparency in our sector. Blogs are clearly one of the best vehicles for promoting the dissemination of actionable information. One of the things that donation portals should do is publish the results of their efforts during the Giving Season. I have a feeling that many of GlobalGiving's efforts can be converted for use by smaller nonprofits in their own efforts (perhaps on a smaller scale of course). Next step would be for all these sites to adopt the Quantcast tag so we can track their traffic under a single metric. Yes, we've hashed over this issue before but it's clear that sites like compete.com have enough data to accurately assess your site traffic WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. It's simply just a smarter idea to do what Donna has just done which is to publish your results. Anything else is just sticking your head in the sand. Excellent blog post there, Donna.
