Hi everyone,

We are glad to announce that prices are back up to twenty dollars!

Now, we should be getting to 3,000 pages real soon especially with more advertisements going out on SiteHoppin and we will have a new press release to push this project to another level.

Get BANG for your Dollar before pages prices rise again!

Wow, it seems like MSN Live Search likes us a lot. Today, Cheap Fabrics page is showing up number five for the search term, “Cheap Fabric”. Congrats to the page owner. BTW, the page seems empty so we will put some dummy content for you until you are ready to put content.

Wow, take a look at this! Last week, the Digital Camera page was showing up #3 on Google for “digital camera wiki”.

Guess what, today, the same page is ranked #6 on MSN Live Search among other big sites like Buy.com and Overstock.com for the search term, “Digital Camera”!!!

That page we’d say the Digital Camera page is worth at least $30,000 right now.

Now, there’s another reason to invest a dollar at the One Buck Wiki!

Everyday, I keep getting these letters from theprizeblog.com. (Honestly, I think they just want some attention)

But, I realize this is a clever way of spamming.

I’ve never signed up for anything, but he’s asking for a link. (Like I lost something that I should have gotten…)

Anyways, it’s a very clever way of spamming. I tried replying back but no replies, must be a spam-bot.

Wow, check out the Fort Page on the One Buck Wiki! The page owner JohnStanton has done an incredible job of putting great content. We are going to feature his page on the homepage for the next week.

You can take a look at his source and how he utilized the GoogleMaps function to create an interactive map for Forts.

We will also be having weekly contests from now on to promote great content as we have a new competition, which is Google’s latest project, Knol Project.

In order to improve our status as the premier wiki on the internet, we will be changing our direction of focus to better content instead of just simply advertising.

How can you help?

You can put more informative descriptions on your pages about your keyword instead of simply putting lots of advertising. The best is to put great content and ads to benefit from your pages. We will be upgrading the site’s overall functions to include commenting and other user-oriented features like the Knol Project Google is working on.

Oops, we have been a little busy updating the site with some new features and forgot to post last Featured Pages. Here it is!

On the side note, we are working on a vote function so you can browse the One Buck Wiki by going through the most popular page by votes instead of views.

As promised, we have a new feature that lets you add RSS Feeds to your pages!

What is so great about this feature? Since we’ve removed the NOFOLLOW tag on all links, this means that you can put hundreds of backlinks to your website or blog using RSS Feeds.

You can refer to the RSS Feed section of the QuickStartGuide for more info or read below:

If you have a blog or website with RSS Feed, you can easily bring up your posts on your page.
