E-Book - HOWTO Make your own Paid Wiki Site!
0 Comments Published December 13th, 2007 in OBW Buzz, OBW News.What have we been working on lately?
After creating a lot of wiki sites with different prices, the OBW Team has learned a couple things:
1. Making people pay for a Wiki page gets more visitors to your Wiki site.
2. Paid Wikis can make your instant money within weeks unlike blogs. It’s an untapped niche market waiting to explode.
3. There’s more demand than supply, meaning there’s never going to be enough paid wiki sites to fulfill needs of advertisers and wiki lovers.
You can take a look at the number of negative comments on how people don’t want more paid wiki sites at John Chow, yet we hit record sales for both the QuarterWiki and the One Buck Wiki for that day.
4. There’s a whole category of niche paid wiki sites that can be made starting from Art to Zoo wikis.
Q. What are we doing about it?
A. We are going to make an E-Book that shows you how to make a paid wiki site from scratch and sell it for a small fee. It will also explain in detail how to incorporate SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to your Wiki site by hacking some of its core files.
Q. What are we charging money for it?
A. People in general perceive more value when they have to pay for it. If it’s free, no one cares. This analogy can be compared to our Wiki on Zedomax.com. It’s a simple free Tech Wiki with PageRank of 4 yet over the last year and half, not a single soul has taken advantage over the free wiki. We will be converting that wiki into a paid wiki to experiment if that will bring more visitors and interest.
A lot of people have Wikis already. Instead of installing CAPTCHAs or other annoying spam-filtering devices, you can convert it into a money making machine. By doing so, you will get more interest and visitors at the same time preventing spam completely.
The advantage of converting an exisitng Wiki Site?
If you have a Wiki site with a PageRank of 4 or higher, you will be able to sell pages right off the bat. Why? Simply because the pages already have a value from SEO standpoint.
In all, you don’t have to make a new site if you run Wiki sites already. All you have to do it install simple shopping cart system where people will be able to buy pages.
The new E-Book will be called, “Paid Wiki Hacks using MediaWiki” or something along that line.
By spreading the knowledge, we hope to start a new era of Web 2.0, where people can monetize on their Wiki sites.

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 )

We will be doing a web traffic experiment this week. We’ve hooked up all of our blogs with most traffic to bring traffic to OneBuckWiki. Although this doesn’t really lead to any sales of pages, we will be just doing it for fun. You can watch the traffic here. It seems like we’ve picked up 800 visitors already and it’s still 3:30AM. (Traffic starts at 12AM FYI)
How did we do it? We’ve noticed that one of our page-owners have been putting iFrames on their sites. Every time their website opened, his pages got traffic and of course, pageviews! So, we are following his idea basically.
On the side note, make sure to have your websites embedded in your pages because when a visitor opens your page, you will automatically get a hit as if they clicked through your link to your website. Don’t get it? We will explain more later down the road or ask us!
Just make sure you embed your pages like told here.
On the sidex2 note, we are working on new feature such as:
Templates that you can use to make your page look customized
Voting Feature or a new Wiki Digg site where you will benefit from SEO. (We’ve noticed that we are not getting the usual amount of Google search terms after almost a month. This is very bad and we are going to do something about it of course! You WILL get BANG for you dollar because we care…. )

How are we viral? A lot of new users to the OneBuckWiki wonder how we promote through viral marketing.
One of the most effective ways is through blog posts. A lot of our users are bloggers who promote for us. (and we do give out freebies for that. )
But it doesn’t stop there. We run about 20 blogs and most of them have PR4 or PR5. We will do a lot of inter-linking withing all those blogs and somehow we end up with lots and lots of google search terms in the end.
You can check out some of our blogs at Zedomax.Net archives if you are wondering what kind of blogs we run. They are mostly niche markets that target certain topics such as beds, sleep, DIYs, and others.
We think that Web3.0 will be a mix of Web2.0 technologies. Even One Buck Wiki has such features since it’s a mix of Wiki and a Blog. We are maybe thinking of adding a voting function that page-owners can vote for the best pages. What do you think? It’d look like this website we run. OR even better, you can use our existing social networking site to promote your pages. The answer is simple, the more links pointing at your pages, the more traffic you will get and more valuable it be.
