Are you taking advantage of AboutUs.org? If not, you are missing out on an easy and effective way to bring attention to your website or blog. 

AboutUs.org has a pretty slick wiki set up. With a click of their pencil-icon, you can include a summary of your website, pictures, and link back to your site or blog. If the information you add is unique and fresh, it stands a good chance of improving your search engine rankings.

In case wiki is a strange term to you, by definition it's pretty simple. A wiki is a collaborative website providing knowledge. Anyone can enter information, change contributions or add a comment.

Visit www.AboutUs.org and see what I mean!

For ideas on adding information, here's one of my pages...

Oh by the way, AboutUs.org also provides SEO articles, shows you how your site looks to search engines, called a Visibility Report, and offers tips to improving your site.

On top of that, they are real people with actual names. I find them to be very personable, willing to jump in and talk to you. They are quite passionate about their mission to improve the web! Works for me! :)

Dear Mrs Kate,

So good to see you back. I am doing fine, as you would want to know, even after recently surviving an airliner crash in a plane that I hotwired.

Nutsy, your furry little friends

Nutsy, AboutUs.org has issued a wanted, dead or alive (preferably dead) warning if you are found on their wiki site. Such smart folks.

Cool Elizabeth. It's a fun way to get some SE exposure. I've been emailing Kristina at AboutUs today about a certain matter and she is so friendly.

John, Have fun exploring. I think you'll like AboutUs.

 

Debe, You are welcome. You'll find their set-up to be user-friendly. Email them with questions. They get back to you pretty quickly.

Really, just create your page and site information and anyone can edit your page. Also aboutus.org will gladly put up 4 adsense ads on your page as payback.

But Burt, making money is not a bad thing! Not bad for AboutUs, not bad for me and not bad for you also I assume.

Regarding edits, that is the nature of a Wiki. Of course anyone can set up alerts for changes to their information but no one is forced to participate in the first place.

As far as quality incoming links, AboutUs.org is a good find if you want exposure on the web.

Dear Nutsy,

This is to let you know I am awaiting your misfire (like into your foot). Oh that's right, your foot is always in your mouth.

Ms Kate

PS I am preparing a few words of wisdom but since they will be about Facebook, you will not be included in the discussion.

You are invited to bury your face in the dirt. Deeply.
