In an effort to encourage bloggers to write about their favorite charities, Zemanta launched a Blogging for a Cause contest, where they will give $6,000 in donations to the five most blogged about charities. We invite supporters of the Monteverde Conservation League US to help promote the Children’s Eternal Rainforest by taking a few minutes to mention this wonderful cause in their blogs.

Bloggers simply need to post about their favorite charities, then add a tracking link in their blog posts. Here’s the text and link: This blog post is part of Zemanta’s “http://www.zemanta.com/bloggingforacause/”>Blogging For a Cause” campaign to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes that bloggers care about.

There are many things to write about, from the 54,000 acres of land protected in Monteverde, Costa Rica to the free courses and rainforest kits for educators this summer at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

The contest runs until June 6, 2009. Check out the contest site for more info and blogger directions.

Thank you for your support, and happy blogging!
