'''KEY POINT:''' At the same time, if your organization is a non-profit associated with a particular cause I would recommend suggesting supporters to have websites and blogs as well and to have these websites and blogs link to your organizations website. I would also suggest providing them this resource. If your organization is cause based, some of your supporters probably post on forums and other places on the internet. Also, if you have zealous supporters posting in fairly non popular forums or in general forums, this is less productive than a focused blog on a particular subject. Google does look at the topical relevance of a particular site or forum. I suppose an alternative is to have your supporters be more active as far as creating articles for your website but an argument for telling your supporters how they can easily have their own website or blog and then link to your websites is that they will have more freedom in terms of what they write (and you will not have to review it) plus there is the convenience factor. If their material is hosted at their website or blog, the can more easily make revisions. I believe that the best strategy is combination of having your supporters write articles for your website, but at the same time encouraging them to have their own blogs and websites also due to the freedom of expression and convenience factor. Plus I generally think people are sometimes more enthusiastic if they have their own personal website or blog and the proliferation of blogs on the internet tells me that I am correct in suggesting that a mix of having supporters write articles for your website plus encouraging them to have their own websites is a wise strategy. In addition, if there are more websites out there, then negative actions done by search engines or governments against one particular website is less harmful as a cause does not have all its eggs in just a few baskets. I also believe that the various website and blog owners for a particular cause can share with each other tips and what they have found works on getting search engine rankings. In other words, sometimes if you have an abundance of counselors there is victory. I think the issue of having your supporters have websites and blogs can be important when you are seeking link partners or finding it difficult finding strong websites to link to you.
I created an internet article that gets about 800-1,000 views a day and a handful of topically related blogs definitely helped me reach my top ranking for this article. I have another article that gets about 600-800 views a day and getting the leading blogger of this subject to mention my article definitely helped.

If you already have a website and know how to create successful websites as far as how to build them using various software tools (Dreamwweaver, HTML, etc. ) then the above resource will not provide you as much value or may not be for you. However, for the newbie who is not technically adept and does not know how to bring web traffic into a website I think their package can be a good package for some people.
==Having a Blog and Having your Supporters Have Websites and Blogs BLOGS ==
Blogs definitely play a part in terms of getting your website ranked high by the search engines. Hosting your blog on a different domain from your main site is a bad idea. A blog on your domain can attract links, publicity, help make you a trusted site with the search engines, and increase your search rankings.
Here are two books I would recommend for your supporters:
