Have you ever tried creating your own page on Wikipedia, possibly one for your companies product or website? Have you been slightly annoyed when an editor has deleted your post or the external link to your website to keep Wikipedia’s topics as “neutral” as they can be? Well if so, I have some good news for you today.
MyWikiBiz is a wiki much like Wikipedia (although obviously smaller), but it promotes itself as not being totally neutral. They want pages about everything, and have even set a goal to reach 265 million pages some day.
To reach this goal, they actually WANT you to write a wiki post about yourself, your company, your products, and anything else you can think of. This site is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to a link builder like myself because it allows me to create highly content orientated, search engine optimized pages on a decent authoritative domain without spending any time or effort.
It took maybe five minutes to create a MyWikiBiz page for CollinLaHay.com, and it includes a dofollow anchor text link to my blog as well as a little paragraph of related content. This is a good solid link that will be there indefinitely. The best part of MyWikiBiz is that you can build links from ANY niche that you are into, since it wants to be a Wiki about every topic.
A very related link building technique through a Wiki page is also aboutus.org which I have written about previously.
Collin, we’re happy to have another disciple of MyWikiBiz. I’ll be adding this blog post to our roster of press mentions (yet another link for you)!
I want your readers to take the 10 minutes to watch the YouTube video on the front page of MyWikiBiz.com. Notice how we’re often able to get search engine results far out of proportion to our site’s smaller size? That’s thanks to the semantic tags employed on MyWikiBiz. So, new users should take a careful look at how to deploy these tags on their articles, if they want to get the very best search engine results.
Of course, even without the semantic tags, it’s still a nifty way to build links… so, either way, I welcome all new users who want to exploit the site to their benefit.
Excellent. Thanks for writing about this new source of links.
Thanks again Collin for a great one way link source. I was checking out the mywikibiz page and it definitely looks like something I can use for all of my blogs.
Very cool Collin and it is great to see Greg posting in praise. It’s great that you guys offer a do follow link, and I hope the spam is kept to a minimum for your sake! I’ll be creating a page and testing it out!
Thanks Colin,
Not bad - I am looking forward to learning MUCH more.
I created a directory listing and will be monitoring mywikibiz in the future.
I did note that the collinlahay directory listing has been indexed by the big G and subsequently, this looks real good.
Of course, the QUICK listing could be due to some backink juice.
I will be doing some research here…
Nice work!

I don’t know how one might define “spam” on MyWikiBiz? We’re accepting of all races, creeds, colors, enterprises, non-profits, missions, etc. I suppose I’d have to draw the line at hate speech, pornography, or illegal scams or operations. And, I wouldn’t tolerate 460 links to a tax accounting site being spawned across 460 articles, of course.
But if a genuine entity wishes to promote the heck out of themselves on one or two pages on MyWikiBiz, I’m actually eager to help them out.
Finally someone who sees a project that benefits everyone (including yourself).
Thanks Colin for another excellent link-building opportunity. As I’m somewhat of a web doofus, it was hard for me to navigate the site and figure out how to do the “anchor text.” (I finally did a copy & paste job on Colin’s wiki, to get the proper templates).
I still can’t figure out how to do the anchor text or much of anything else although I did set up a directory. The external link feature doesn’t really work very good imo. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Oh wow now another benefit from Wiki. I thought I could only use wiki while I was on my final year project lol.
Thanks Colin for this information, and for the link to your MyWikiBiz page as example. Also thanks to Mr Gregory Kohs for MyWikiBiz.
Excellent post!
Collin, just wanted to let you know that I estimate about 20 new accounts have signed up and created at least one page at MyWikiBiz, as a result of your blog post. That’s phenomenal, in our little backwater neighborhood on the web!
Collin, here’s something quite interesting and demonstrates a point I try to make with new visitors and users of MyWikiBiz…
If you conduct a Google search right now, simply for “collinlahay.com”:
http://www.google.com/search?h.....nlahay.com
The # 1 result is, of course, your blog home. However, the # 2 result is your MyWikiBiz.com directory listing, out of over 3,600 results. You created that page exactly 2 weeks ago. Two weeks to # 2 on Google.
Once again, I’m kind of astounded when I wonder why a million small and medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs have not followed your example and created a directory page and loaded it with rich semantic tags.
May I ask you something? Is MyWikiBiz free of charge?
Meaning free membership? Thanks….
Yes, of course MyWikiBiz is free of charge. Indeed, if you place Google AdSense ads on the Directory pages that you make, it’s better than free of charge.
Readers may want to look at this amazing example of how a new page on MyWikiBiz went to #1 on Google, in just six days:
http://www.mywikibiz.com/index.....ldid=82793
out of all the methods i have used on the list… this one is so far my favorite and i will be using this method for many things… just loaded 4 pages and sent some link juice to certain pages on my elaborate and random non-detectable road to google page 1
