New wiki-style website, whynotad, claims to be just like a wikipedia - when peoplesearch for information, its relevance is claimed to be ranked higher in the searchresults.
The new wiki-style portal uses Web 2.0 programming, and, as a result, gives theinformation a more relevant, and hence, a much higher result when people search forthe information on search engines like google and yahoo. In simple terms, the sitegives the search engines the feed it needs to place the information at higher searchrelevance.
The site was banned from a popular digital forum for revealing its smart programmingsecrets and promoting its free linking and advertising system.
The benefits to business and the community are enormous. The site gives users thecontrols back and, therefore, you control the relevance of particular and criticalinformation. Take, for example, a dentist who placed an ad on the site aboutmouthwash titled a-z of mouthwash. If your information is about mouthwash, thesite gives you the tools to enter titles and categories, which is then fed to thesearch engines. When someone searches on popular search engines like google for a-zof mouthwash, its relevance is much higher. Currently this ad is ranked number 1 ongoogle.
The Internet is about giving the community more choice and more information, andthis site certainly achieves just that.
The first ever wiki site was created for the Portland Pattern Repository in 1995.The simplest explanation of a Wiki is a piece of server software that allows usersto freely create and edit Web page content using Web browsers. Wiki supportshyperlinks and has simple text syntax for creating new pages and cross-links betweeninternal pages. Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects onWiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site isexciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes contentcomposition by non-technical users.The makers of this exciting portal have eliminated the lengthy registration forms,and so have made a simple but very effective end-user solution. Users have a muchgreater choice of service with better and more targeted results. Information of anysort can be placed on the portal in almost a few seconds.
The whynotad 2.0 website provides interactive features that make using and browsingthe site more valuable and interesting.
The digital forum that banned the site in question was unavailable for comment today.
We are unsure as to exactly why we were banned from the forum. Our wiki-styleportal is relatively new, we have used many features that simplify the end user suse and ability to control the site s settings. We believe it s the first of itstype, using web 2.0 and the wiki style for online advertising, classifieds, andcommunity news. A lot of barriers to online advertising have been cut, now anyonecan place information is a few seconds and it s available the next day on popularsearch engines.
We simply wanted to make it easier for people to add information from one point andto have that information readily available and searchable from popular searchengines like google, and we have achieved just that. We are working on a number ofother exciting web 2.0 wiki projects, that will certainly change many things on theinternet. People predicted that this style of portal would create a lot ofcontroversy, but we didn t imagine that it would cause as such media attention asthis has, says Company Spokesperson Mandy Lorenson.
