Google Grants program

[adyus]

I've submited some questions to google adwords department, asked about special programs for non-profits and advertising in general.

Basically, I've asked how much would it cost to list this website first on the search results page for keywords like "rosacea", "rosacea treatment"....

I've got a reply, they have a special program, titled "google grants". It offers FREE publicity for 501©(3) non-profit organizations. I will read the program detalis for eligibility and how to apply tommorow and get back.

Yeah, it really would be cool. These guys have 10 times the CTR(click rate for a ad) rate than other networks. So, we would get alot of traffic.

We are eligible for the grant program. I am a bit busy and tired today, I will complete the application tomorrow or sunday.
