OneBuckWiki - The Wiki to get BANG for your dollar! » New Features

New Voting System - Vote with Dollar Bills!

Max — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 09:15:46 +0000

We added a new AJAX voting extension today that let’s you vote with dollar bills!

Unlike the old voting system where only registered users could vote, this new voting system allows one vote per IP address so you can tell your friends to vote for your pages if you want to get up on that list of high achievers on the One Buck Wiki.

This might be a lot better at filtering the best pages at One Buck Wiki since we can allow even visitors to vote on their favorite pages with money.

Go ahead and try it out and vote with dollar bills!

We are on the first page of Google for “wiki ebay telescopes”

Max — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 11:26:16 +0000

Yey, we officially made it to first page on Google for the search term, “wiki ebay telescopes”.

We found out that this search actually lands on our E-store category page. And guess what? We got so many e-stores there! We were amazed.

On the side note, page sales have started to slowly take off again. Check out the latest pages sold here.

Make sure to sign up for StumbleUpon and stumble your pages, the main page, and as many pages as you can as StumbleUpon is our primary source of traffic right now along with EntreCard.

One Buck Wiki is bringing prices back down to one dollar soon!

Max — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:17:59 +0000

Due to recent slowness of sales, we’ve decided to open up pages for sale at one dollar soon. We will soon be implementing all the new features we’ve used on the new Quarter Wiki such as automated payment system and automated RSS Feeds. Once that’s done, the price will go back to one dollar until we hit 3000 pages. That’s right.

Why are we doing this?

First, our schedule was to have sold 2000 pages by end of November. Obviously, we missed our target and we gotta do something about it.

Second, bringing in more page sales will ultimately bring more content to the site and more traffic.

Third, we promised you you will get BANG for your dollar.

Don’t worry, once we hit 3000 pages, prices will hike back up to $30. We don’t know how often we will do this but we will probably do it every once in a while to help the page sales.

So, please hold on while we make some major hauling to our payment system and automatic page creation. In the meanwhile, feel free to grab some quarter pages at the Quarter Wiki as we have just launched the site and we are also working on some new spidering technologies that we will tell you when it’s ready.

New Feature - How to add RSS Feed to your Page!

Max — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 05:53:50 +0000

As we always do 4 or 5 in the morning, we are hacking new stuff up on the One Buck Wiki.

Today, we will show you how you can easily add RSS Feeds to your page and also ping it all over the blogsphere.

What’s good about this? It gets each of your pages more visible by various search engines including Google.

Basically, we’ve done this with our featured content.

If you want to make a RSS Feed out of your content on your page and ping it all over the blosphere and the interenet, here’s how you do it:



==Title 1==
This is a sample sentence....

==Title 2==
This is a sample sentence....

==Title 3==
This is a sample sentence....

After that, an RSS button will be create at the bottom of your page. OR you can even just add “&action=feed&feed=rss” on your URL or “&action=feed&feed=atom” for Atom Feeds.

For example, if your page is “http://onebuckwiki.com/Max“, then your RSS Feeds address will be “http://onebuckwiki/Max&action=feed&feed=rss“.

OR, you can simply just use the RSS button at the bottom.

WARNING: If you don’t use any titles, your RSS Feed will not work.

Then, if you really want to beyond it, you can follow how to add thousands of backlinks instructions on our QuickStartGuide.

Today’s Featured Article - yey, we finally figured out how to customize wiki language!

Yey, we finally figured out how to make some nice looking templates while fiddling with out newest creation, EntreWiki.com, the future home of Money Making Business Ideas for Entrepreneurs and alike. We still have 4 free pages left so if anyone wants it, you know where to go!

New Feature - URL Change for SEO Optimization.

Max — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 18:01:57 +0000

We will no longer be selling words with underscores but with dashes instead.

Why? This will get searched much better by search engine crawlers.

So, if you buy a page with the phrase, “One Buck Wiki” You will get “http://onebuckwiki.com/One-Buck-Wiki” as URL instead of http://onebuckwiki.com/One_Buck_Wiki.

We have noticed that using underscores are really good for nothing. If you have any knowledge upon this, please feel free to leave us a comment.

Pages that have been previously bought will not be changed but your keyword will not be sold with the new URL change.

EntreWiki Coming Soon - We are giving away 5 FREE $100 Pages!

Max — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:32:06 +0000

EntreWiki is coming soon. We anticipate this new paid wiki will be the greatest of all. Why? We are making a new Online Magazine about Making Money.

We are looking for 5 people who have businesses about “making money” such as Coin Machines, Franchises, etc…etc…

The only requirement is that we need an Advertisement creative from you in a Photoshop PSD format or high quality JPEG.

Basically, we will turn your Full page ad into Wiki text for you and you get to edit it afterwards.

Send your creatives to support [at] onebuckwiki.com to win a free $100 Advertisement Page on the new EntreWiki.

Your ads must be high quality just like a creative you’d submit to a national magazine such as Entrepreneur.

Although we are in beta stage, you can reserve your page today.

New Feature - Who’s Online and User Pages!

Max — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:11:50 +0000

As always, we have new features every other day on the One Buck Wiki. Although we haven’t made a cent yet because we threw all profits back into advertising and humongous server costs, we are still grindin’ through the week, weekend, and today too.

Today’s feature? We added a “Who’s Online Right Now” at the bottom of all our pages so you can check out who’s online! Another feature is that you can click on the users and find out about which pages that user owns.

This also helps your SEO rankings since whenever you are online, your user page is linked to every page on the One Buck Wiki.

The point? Log in to your account One Buck Wiki once a day and improve your search engine rankings and also promote your pages.

How do you edit your user pages? Log in often and we will activate your user page for you or you can e-mail us at support [at] onebuckwiki.com to get it activated quicker.

You can use your user pages to promote your own pages or even embed your pages in your user pages.

How do I embed my exisiting page into my user page?

It’s really simple. Just use the following syntax:
{{:My_Page}}

You can see an example on my page here.

New Feature - Most Popular Pages by Votes - Go Vote for your the best pages on One Buck Wiki!

Max — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 23:56:04 +0000

In addition to Pwigg being added for the paid wiki world, we have added a new feature.

Now Most Popular Pages are seen by User Votes. If a page haven’t been voted, it won’t show up on the Most Popular Page.

The previous Most Popular by Views is still accesible via the first link you see here.

Why sudden change? We live in a Web2.0 world where people are digging. Page views are technology from the Web1.0 world and we figured it’s a good time to change to Web2.0.

Another plus side to this change will result in more user interaction to the One Buck Wiki. This will ultimately result in more traffic too. The system only allows page-owners to vote on the pages, so no gaming will happen or at least that will minimize it.

It simply doesn’t make sense to list the most popular by page views. That is history and we are moving on to the new Voting society.

Here’s how to vote:

Simple login to your user account and if you go to any page you haven’t rated, you will see something like below:

If a page has been voted, you will see the rating as seen below.

New Feature - Robots nofollow removed from Index and Most Popular Pages!

Max — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 21:39:15 +0000

Remember we removed Nofollow tags for links on all pages? Well, we were so stupid (yes, we admit it) that we forgot to remove nofollow tags for robots for our Index and Most Popular Pages. Thanks to Collin at WordHugger, he caught the error for us and now we have a very nicely search-able website with all nofollows removed.

Check out Collin’s new marketing blog here.

Collin owns the following pages on the One Buck Wiki: (Visit them to pay thanks for catchin’ the error for us.)

On the bright side, we also have the new site, Pwigg.com in the works, which should bring in additional Google search terms and thousands of backlinks to our site.

We should have more pages indexed by Google very soon due to the Robot nofollow removal and Pwigg.com.

Pwigg It!

Max — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:43:24 +0000

Now you can “Pwigg” your page easily simply by pressing on the button at the bottom of your pages.

If you hover over the Pwigg button, you will see how many votes your page has.

Go Pwigg your site today!

New Feature - 125×125 pixel Rotating Icons on the Homepage

Max — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 00:09:14 +0000

Yey! We finally got the rotating 125×125 pixel icons working on our homepage thanks to Josh. Do you want your icon to be added to the random rotation?

Send you icon to support [at] onebuckwiki.com and we can add your icon to the homepage.

Web Experiment 2 - Pwigg.com

Max — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:02:50 +0000

Our first web experiment did boost our traffic to something like 7,000 unique visitors per day but we found it had no effects on Alexa rankings. Instead of sending traffic, we are moving onto our new web experiments.

First, we have created a new site for page-owners of all paid wiki sites including Million Dollar Wiki, Million Euro Wiki, One Buck Wiki, and Five Dollar Wiki. We will be adding more sites of course in the near future but you can now go to Pwigg.com and submit your pages and vote on them. Although we are still working on the site graphics, you can submit your pages while we are making the site more enjoyable.

Sencond, we are going to be featuring individual pages on Zedomax.com, which has a good amount of power to boost all pages to first page on Google.

With these two changes, we should see immediate increase in Google search terms to the One Buck Wiki in the next 2 weeks.

OneEuroWiki Postponed

Max — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 03:31:30 +0000

We were going to launch OneEuroWiki but we are going to postpone it until we have figured out how to get more Google search terms to our site. This will be better since we are the guinea pig for the paid-wiki sites. So if you are developing some paid wiki business plans, keep going as we are going to help you but not right now.

We want to find that perfect match for Google SEO using various different MediaWiki extensions and playing around a bit.

So, hold on as we will keep testing what will work for SEO.

New Feature - Easy tagging

Max — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:55:42 +0000

We have a new feature that lets you add categories much easier than in the past. Simply click on categories that are similar to your page content. If a category doesn’t exist, you can always add them in the field as shown in the picture above.

Our OBW SEO Team says that the more categories you have, the better. Why? Since more categories linked to you means “more pages linked to you” within this site, this give you a higher PageRank than other pages. You can find which pages have been most linked to or find which pages have most categories. You will find that these categories have DRAMATIC impact on your PageRank score. PageRank is calculated by how many links you have coming in and it doesn’t have to come from an external website.

We are goin’ Web3.0!

Max — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:57:56 +0000

New features to be added to One Buck Wiki soon to go Web 3.0.

We’ve noticed that Wikis have not been the most SEO friendly animals among the Web2.0 beings such as blogs.

We are implementing some new features which will include advanced tagging and most popular indexing based on votes instead of page views. This will ultimately result in more users and visitors participating in the wiki itself and that we know Google crawlers like.

Basically, we will be turning this site into a Digg/Blog thingee. We don’t know how long it will take but we assure you that you will get BANG for your dollar as our technicians and hackers are working on this 24/7.

We will have new menus like, newest pages, most popular pages, and RSS feeds plus twitter feeds to make it all go crazy on the blogsphere and the world wide web.

We are glad that we’ve had no orders today. This is the first time in 1 month since our launch date that we’ve had no orders for one day. This will help us to focus more on the new Web3.0 features we will be bringing to you. (hopefully… :p )
