Press Release Body: Wiki portal banned for promoting free links
New wiki-style website, whynotad, claims to be just like a wikipedia - when people search for information, its relevance is claimed to be ranked higher in the search results.
The new wiki-style portal uses Web 2.0 programming, and, as a result, gives the information a more relevant, and hence, a much higher result when people search for the information on search engines like google and yahoo. In simple terms, the site gives the search engines the feed it needs to place the information at higher search relevance.
The site was banned from a popular digital forum for revealing its smart programming secrets and promoting its free linking and advertising system.
The benefits to business and the community are enormous. The site gives users the controls back and, therefore, you control the relevance of particular and critical information. Take, for example, a dentist who placed an ad on the site about mouthwash titled "a-z of mouthwash." If your information is about mouthwash, the site gives you the tools to enter titles and categories, which is then fed to the search engines. When someone searches on popular search engines like google for "a-z of mouthwash," its relevance is much higher. Currently this ad is ranked number 1 on google.
The Internet is about giving the community more choice and more information, and this 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 users to freely create and edit Web page content using Web browsers. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has simple text syntax for creating new pages and cross-links between internal pages. Like many simple concepts, \"open editing\" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition 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 much greater choice of service with better and more targeted results. Information of any sort can be placed on the portal in almost a few seconds.
The whynotad 2.0 website provides interactive features that make using and browsing the 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-style portal is relatively new, we have used many features that simplify the end user's use and ability to control the site's settings. We believe it's the first of its type, using web 2.0 and the wiki style for online advertising, classifieds, and community news. A lot of barriers to online advertising have been cut, now anyone can place information is a few seconds and it's available the next day on popular search engines.
We simply wanted to make it easier for people to add information from one point and to have that information readily available and searchable from popular search engines like google, and we have achieved just that. We are working on a number of other exciting web 2.0 wiki projects, that will certainly change many things on the internet. People predicted that this style of portal would create a lot of controversy, but we didn't imagine that it would cause as such media attention as this has," says Company Spokesperson Mandy Lorenson.
