Colombia is preparing for what is expected to be one of the biggest protest marches in its history against FARC (Colombian Guerrilla).
Youtube Video: Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and Shakira singing the Colombian National Anthem.
Large crowds of people in Colombia have taken to the streets, some holding photographs of missing loved ones and marching against FARC, demanding the release of all hostages.
The Farc has waged a 44-year civil war in Colombia and still holds 700 captives.
Colombia, Colombians, friends from all over the world, let’s unite to shout loudly:
NO MORE!
NO MORE KIDNAPPING!
NO MORE LIES!
NO MORE MURDER!
NO MORE FARC!
Let’s commit ourselves to join a million voices in this day (July 20th) so we can make a difference, and let the entire world know that we don’t need that “People’s Army” here in Colombia; that FARC is a terrorist group, led by murderers and enemies of the Colombian and World’s People. This is a cause beyond all political interests or colors. It’s a humanitarian cause, encouraged by a simple sense of solidarity, for the sake and welfare of our citizens.”
I have been doing a lot of reading lately about search, marketing, usability, landing pages, conversion rates, etc, to keep myself up to date with the latest on SEO/SEM. That’s one of the reasons I have not been posting with frequency, hope to be able to do it again by next January.
Meanwhile I wanted to share with you a fun resource, it’s about a series of quizzes on personal health, finances and a tool to check whether or not you have a family friendly Blog. I had fun, plus found a few great tips to think about and improve my health and my finances.

The SEO Community reaching their hands to Online Charity Associations.
This time is about a Charity Link Meme, started by Skitzzo at SEO Refugee. It’s about posting a link to five of your favorite charities or non profit organizations. These are the rules:
“The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favorite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by tagging 5 other webmasters/bloggers and then publishing the post or the webpage.”
(I have used Patrick’s image: seoish.com, for this article, hope he doesn’t mind, thought that it was perfectly connected to the purpose of this article).
I have been noticing quite a few posts from the SEO Community that have to deal with social awareness:
