Avoid the Pixel and Wiki Page Pitfalls
Introduction
The Million Dollar Homepage was once a groundbreaking idea. Many advertisers rushed to buy pixels, helping the creator amass over a million dollars. Now, there's a new trend: purchasing wiki pages. However, both these approaches face similar challenges.
The Decline of Novel Sites
Today, the Alexa ranking for the Million Dollar Homepage has plummeted to 48,000 and is expected to sink further. Paid wiki pages are likely to meet the same fate. These sites struggle to maintain long-term traffic. Why do people visit websites? They seek information, complete tasks, connect with others, have fun, or make purchases?"not to gaze at pixel ads or random wiki pages.
The Authority of Wikipedia
Wikipedia hosts over two million English articles, offering extensive and reliable information on countless topics. It's the largest information repository available. Ask a 12-year-old their favorite info source, and they'll likely say Wikipedia. There are also specialized wikis on topics like travel, politics, and space, reducing the need to visit paid wiki sites.
Misconceptions About Paid Wiki Sites
Paid wiki sites aren't true wikis. A real wiki is a collaborative platform where large groups of people can add, edit, and share information, linking related topics for easy navigation. This collective intelligence ensures accuracy and comprehensiveness. Credit is due to paid wiki developers for marketing these pages as innovative, but advertisers should be cautious.
Alternatives for Advertisers
Instead of falling for this trap, advertisers should consider creating Squidoo lenses. Squidoo offers free pages to create content on any topic, and you can earn money if your lenses become popular. Another option is securing a long-term domain lease and redirecting Google Blogger pages to that domain, generating revenue through AdSense.
Evaluating Paid Website Opportunities
If you're considering paying for website pages, use these criteria to assess the opportunity:
1. Customization: Ensure you can fully customize your pages by removing the site's logos, banners, and color schemes.
2. Traffic Model: The site should have a robust model for attracting sustainable traffic.
3. Page Promotion: You should have control over how and when your pages are featured on the homepage.
4. Monetization: The site should not profit from placing ads on your pages.
By applying these filters, you can wisely evaluate sites that offer pages for traffic and engagement.
