How do the Good Causes help me?
Do you run a local fundraising effort? Organize a rally or petition drive?
Or are responsible for other worthy local cause? You can list it
for FREE,
with the Vibary Good Causes listing service.
If your cause is not yet online, your Good Causes listing will
put it online on the
Vibary Network for the benefits of local consumers.
In addition, general Web users can also find your Good Causes listing page via the major
Web search engines which constantly index the Vibary Network.
If your cause is already published on the Web, adding a Good Causes listing
will be easy. You don't need to re-enter all the information --
instead, just link back to your existing Web page. Your Web page will gain
an inbound link which can increase its rating on major search engines.
You will also gain a more valuable exposure -- local consumers who
visit the Vibary Network for all things local.
What are the features of Good Causes?
The Vibary Good Causes are
• Self-Listed
You don't need to call us, or wait for
us to review your listings. You create the listings yourself, and they
will be published immediately.
To prevent bogus listings, we require a FREE VIP membership.
Once we have validated their business or organization,
we trust our VIP members to create listings that conform to the
Terms and Usage of the Vibary Network.
We do not verify Good Causes at the time of
publication, but we do investigate reports of possible violations.
• Easy to Enter
Just type the description of your
cause on our online forms. If you already have it published on the
Internet, just link to it instead of retyping. We make it easy for
you to promote your cause.
• Easy to Update
Sign in at any time with your VIP membership,
and modify your listings or even withdraw them.
For Premium Listings, you will get a credit for the unused portion of your listing orders.
• Easy to Search
Your Good Causes are catalogued for
browsing by criteria, and indexed for searching by keyword.
• Low Cost
You can list for FREE.
For better exposure, we offer low-cost Premium Listings.
Our pricing makes it affordable for you to
use Good Causes listings to reach out to local consumers.
In addition to the above features that are common to many Vibary Listings,
the Good Causes listings have unique facilities:
• Associated Listings
All other Vibary Listings, such as
Calendar, Jobs, Classifieds,
can be associated with your Good Causes listing.
For example, you run a fundraising campaign by first creating a
base Good Cause listing. You then have associated BazAh! Classifieds listings
created for each individual donated item. The BazAh! Classifieds listings will be associated
back to your Good Causes listing to let buyers know their purchases are for
a good cause.
Conversely your base Good Causes listing has links to all associated listings,
-- such as classifieds listings for donated items, calendar listings for events, volunteer job listings --
to allow local users see what they can do to get involved with your cause.
How are the Good Causes catalogued?
Vibary Good Causes are catalogued to allow
local consumers to browse by:
- Good Causes type (fundraising, rally, petition, etc.)
- Shopping malls (causes within a mall)
- Local communities
- Directory categories (such as youth organizations)
- Lifestyle channels (computer, sports, travel, etc.)
- Recent listings
How are the Good Causes indexed?
Good Causes are indexed by the Vibary Local Search engine
to allow local consumers to search by entering keywords for:
- Listing contents
- Listing titles only
- Listing organization names
- All Listings
The All Listings option returns Good Causes listings in conjunction
with other Vibary Listings
(such as calendar, classifieds, yellow pages, savings) from the same
entered keyword.
The Vibary Network is also indexed by the major Internet search engines.
This gives your local Good Causes listings an extra world-wide Web exposure,
at no extra cost or effort from you.
How much do Good Causes cost?
You can list one FREE Good Causes listing at any
one time. The Free listing is supported by third-party ads that are shown
around the listing pages (such as banner ads on top and gallery ads
on the side).
For enhanced showing, Good Causes can be listed as Premium listings
which have a Listing Fee (as shown on the left vignette). Premium listings do not
carry third-party ads and are shown more prominently than Free listings.
You can create a Free or Premium listings by yourself.
If you ever need our help to create a listing for you,
there is a separate Studio Fee.
From times to times, the Vibary Network runs promotions on Good Causes.
Please check the current promotions page.
What do Premium Listings give me?
The Premium listings have all the features of Free listings and more:
- Your listing page does not carry third-party ads. If you have purchased
banner ads or gallery ads under your VIP membership account, they will be
shown here.
- Your listing is shown more prominently than Free listings in various browsing or
search results.
There is no obligation whatsoever for you to ever purchase a Premium listing
in Good Causes or any other Vibary Listing service, in order to list for
FREE on Good Causes listings.
Do I need a web site?
The Vibary Good Causes are perfect to publish your
local good cause online. You get the needed online exposure without the
expense of running a web site.
If you already have your good cause online (either on your own web
site or via a third-party hosting service), you can increase its local exposure
by creating a Good Causes listing and link to it.

recorded. With your VIP membership, you can sign in
