SEO.com has partnered with ASCEND to boost the charitable organization's online presence, and to ultimately help poverty-stricken children by increasing awareness and donations. It's the feel good SEO story of the day.

"Over the years, ASCEND has done tremendous work, whether its building schools and hospitals, cleaning water or providing leadership and skills to people in third world countries," said Nelson James, president of SEO.com. "We wanted to be part of that."

SEO.com, an SEO company and search marketing firm, is providing $30,000 worth of search marketing services to increase website traffic and turn more of that traffic into donations. SEO.com will also give the international charity for children 15 percent of any funds from clients ASCEND refers.

"We're grateful for SEO.com's efforts in helping us have a broader presence online," said Carolyn Dailey, president and CEO of ASCEND. "We'll be able to reach more people who are willing to give up a few dollars to help kids in need."

ASCEND sends expeditions to countries like Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Mozambique and Ethiopia to help build schools and hospitals; provide education and onsite training; medical services; and to build facilities like irrigations systems, wells, pumps, sanitary latrines, stoves, green houses, food storage systems, and community centers.

Two of the leaders in their respective fields of search engine optimization and online video production have announced a partnership that aims to create a best-of-breed video SEO solution. SEO.com and Sorenson Media will be joining forces to provide customers with a combined level of expertise in both the searchability and quality of online video that the emerging category hasn’t yet experienced.

SEO.com, ranked No. 2 on Website Magazine’s list of the top 50 SEO firms in the world in our April, 2010 issue, is an international leader in the interrelated disciplines of search engine optimization, paid search marketing, search-optimized Web design, social media and conversion optimization. Sorenson Media is on the forefront of Internet video innovation with the Sorenson 360 online video platform and the award-winning Sorenson Squeeze encoding solution comprising the most comprehensive end-to-end platform for the creation, management and delivery of online video content. As strategic partners, the two companies are committed to delivering high-quality video content online and helping ensure that it reaches its intended audience.

Despite the growing demand for online video content, online searches often yield exponentially less searchable video than text content — a trend that these two companies will be working together to change.
