PR6 link from Surfrider Foundation

    I was donating to The Surfrider Foundation today and found out that if you donate $100 they promote your business! They give you a link from a PR6 page on their website (http://surfrider.org/retailers/) and they print your company info in their newletter (which is mailed out to all of their 37,000+ members, 6 times a year). I think this is a great opportunity since you get a great link, printed advertising AND the $100 donation is a tax write off. Plus, your donation helps to preserve our beaches and I won't have to surf in sewage spills as much...Yay! :D !

    I was checking out the retailers list and saw a couple in Oregon. I just don't understand these people, they must be from Alaska to be able to handle the cold waters in Oregon. Brrrr. I was cold enough surfing in Santa Cruz with a wetsuit on!!

    I miss Santa Cruz and surfing. I am going to cry now...... I miss the ocean. We are a couple hours from the windy, cold ocean here. boo hoo

    I do have a VW bus again, but I am still working on it. This was is much older than the 72 VW campervan I use to drive, this one is a 1958!

    Plus, if the wind or cold doesn't get you, the Great White sharks will! I'll just stick with my 70 degree San Diego water, perfect weather and dolphins, thank you very much
    :D ...

    OH, thanks, just rub it in.................

    -- here is one, traffic here started to show when you had to wait behind 2 or 3 cars at a stop light. HA!

    -- both lanes on either side of the freeway are almost empty except for the rush hour, which then it slows down to the speed limit.

    Parking is accessible.

    Parking is free. (no $10 for 2 hours,etc...) :D

    Those things are all true, so everyone out there should definately not move to San Diego or even come to visit (if you don't know how to drive
    :p ).

    Although, I work from home and walk to the post office, beach, restaurants, etc and I've never paid for parking any where in San Diego (even when I've parked downtown in the "pay to park" lots....I guess you just have to know the tricks ;) )

    Seriously though, traffic is becoming an epidemic here, I couldn't stand commuting any more, so I had to start my own biz before I flew off the handle and started ramming people on the freeway with my car... :D

    I just found out that in addition to all the great stuff (PR6 link, printed advertising, cool sticker, tax write-off, helping the enviroment, etc) you get for becoming a member of Surfrider, if you sign up between now and DigitalPoints birthday (that was just a coincidence :D ), you are entered into a raffle for a free custom-shaped surfboard. There is also a possiblity of winning a trip to Costa Rica, but the trip has something to do with the San Diego Surfrider Chapter (So I don't thing the trip would apply to most of you).

    I donated to a charity site that was offering a PR8 link for a $75 donation. 3 Months later my link is still active and the page is still a PR8 but google doesn't count the backlink because they have flagged it.


    I just wanted to let people know that you should watch out because this is buying PR in the eyes of google.

    Interesting...Although, Surfrider doesn't advertise that it is trading you a PR6 link (I doubt they even know what that means :p ). I just noticed that you happen to get a link on their website by donating at their "Retailer" tier. So, I doubt it would be flagged by Google, but who knows.

    Do you mind telling us which site it was that you donated to for the PR8 link? Was it a real charity? Just curious :D .
