I signed up for the Colorado Tour de Cure for Diabetes. The ride will take place Saturday, August 26, 2006 starting at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont, Colorado.
I've created a team (called Cyclelicious, naturally) because my wife and kids will also participate in this ride. If you read this blog and would like to join the team, feel free to drop me a line.
If you'd like to sponsor me by giving to the American Diabetes Association please click here, and thank you. Every sponsor will be listed (with a link to your website if you want) in the left sidebar through the end of August. Cyclelicious currently receives over 3,500 5,600 visitors per week so this isn't a bad way to get some exposure.
Limitations & stuff: - Minimum donation is $25 if you're
somebody I know; $50 if I don't know you. This is negotiable, but if you donate in February that's less than $4/month for a link for a PR5 website, which isn't a bad deal. We can also talk about sitewide and permanent link deals. Cyclelicious currently has about 600 pages of content. This will likely double by August.
- You
must donate through the online American Diabetes donation form by
specifically sponsoring me and identifying yourself on the form.
- If
I get more than a dozen sponsors, I may move everybody to a seperate
page, though early sponsors and big givers will remain on the homepage
sidebar.
- No links to material that I deem to be excessively
offensive. If you have any question at all, contact me first about
your website.
- If linking to your selected website can in my
judgement damage my site's ranking with search engines, I reserve the
right to use the "nofollow" attribute in the link.
- I can only list
your details if I know something about you, so I need good contact
info. That means you must leave a good email address with the ADA when
you leave your online donation.
- If I die or go broke or something
else beyond my control happens resulting in the demise of this website,
I obviously won't keep your link up. If web page PageRank diminishes or
goes away, I owe you nothing. Conversely, if PageRank goes up this
spring then that's an extra bonus for you.
- You are not buying links
from me because I don't see any money -- it all goes to the American
Diabetes Association and I'm putting the link up as a favor to
you.
There is real value -- monetary and otherwise -- in having a link from this PR5 website so you benefit when giving to the American Diabetes Association. The earlier you give, the more you benefit from the viewpoint of the search engines.
