<\/a>This past week, Noah’s Ark Pet Adoptions, a no-kill animal “shelter” and adoption organization<\/a>, was featured in the Northwest Valley Republic<\/i>. The picture to the right is from the article. If you click on it, the full article will display.<\/p>\n

I’m always looking for ways to support this fine organization, by fostering unwanted pets who need permanent homes, by adopting pets (current family includes four dogs and nine cats), by donating money and by promoting them in any way I can.<\/p>\n

On the “Refer a friend” page of our website<\/a>, we make this offer:<\/p>\n

And because charity begins at home, if someone you refer buys or sells a home with us, we’ll donate 10% of our net commission to the charity of your choice (within limits — we won’t give money to people who kill people). You get to share BloodhoudRealty.com with people you love, and you get to share the proceeds with the people who need your love. Everybody wins!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, if the referrer has no ‘pet project’ of her own, we’ll suggest Noah’s Ark. From our “About us” page<\/a>, in the section about me, Cathleen Collins, we say<\/p>\n

She devotes most of her spare time and all of her spare money to rescuing unwanted animals — including our Spokesmodel, Odysseus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now the interesting thing about this page is we ran stats yesterday on the key phrase people had typed into the search engine they used to click through to our site. We opened up the survey to every search engine and every phrase. Eighth on the list of unique search terms that brought people to our site was “no kill animal shelters in Phoenix”!<\/p>\n

Now how to turn that<\/i> Long Tail into gold!
