Million Dollar wiki has been created by Graham Langdon, 21 year old senior from the University of Connecticut. The concept behind it is similar to wikipedia however instead of everyone editing a page you buy your own page and add the content that you like. Every page is owned by the buyer and has its unique word or niche. The good thing here that people started to talk about it and even it has been on the press. You can check it here: Front Page Materia and Another Front Page!. Could this be the next million dollar site? Of course, a new idea and everyone talks about it.

When we see that everyone talks about it, it means that this site will get many backlinks and can be loved by Google (May be like wikipedia?). A good friend decided to buy a page and start testing out how this could benefit each one of the owners. The page that he bought is Hosting page. One of the goals is to be ranked in the first page of hosting results in search engines mainly Google.

After some research about how the page is done in words of search engine optimization. Graham should do some background editing and some of my recommendations will be:

There is an ugly “edit” button with a tag H2 besides the word that you add. For example you can check the Hosting page and see the following:

When a spiders come to the page, it will see that H2 belongs to the “Hosting” word and the “Edit” word so they will “think” that the anchor text is “edit hosting” or “Hosting edit”. My recommendation to Graham will be to remove the edit button/link and make it just available when the page owner login to his account. Or make the edit button smaller (no “H” tags just a link) in the footer of each section.

The description of each page is empty. This is a brief message for one of the SEO tools: The description is used by search engines both for indexing and possibly for determing what summary to show for your page when it matches a search query. By not having a description, the site is missing out on an important search engine optimization (SEO) tactic. The best thing that Graham can do here, is to make an option in the page owners background to be able to add the description of their pages.

Title: What is great is that the title will be the word that you bought in this example “Hosting”. But some SEO experts recommend not to add the website name like: Hosting - MillionDollarWiki. I am not sure if this can efffect it but just in case is worth to mention it.

Meta Keyword: Nothing to change here. It seems that your meta keyword is also the same word that you bought.

Domain name: million dollar wiki domain name will expire on 255 days. Google really cares about the domain name age. So will be recommended to expand your domain name for the maximum +9 years).

Next article will be tips on how to seo and getting traffic to your million dollar wiki page.

   Some good points over there G-Lady. I am not aware if a title format like that would hurt, but anyway having a page with just the keyword in the title of that page will definitively increase the keyword % used in the title.

   Will not make a huge impact but is better to prevent than being sorry. I read it from a blog that offers a wordpress plugin that they suggest about removing the blog name.

   But from my researches and results this really affect check in google: wtdirect review
   and you will see that my review about them is at #2 before I removed the blog name it was at #9.

   I look forward to reading your article tomorrow as I have the Stock Picks page. One of deterrents from critics is the fact that it doesn’t have a Google PR and that it’s all hype. Hopefully, you can shed some light on the issue on how the pages can rank better.

   Does google actually check domain expiration date? I’ve seen it mentioned a lot, but I cannot find any proof. Domain *age* surely, but domain expiration?

   I don’t know if google check the expiration date but as you mentioned there are many SEO experts talking about it. For 9 years renewal will cost between $60 to $100 USD only. So it will be good to prevent than being sorry.

   There are many rumours about it that Google checks the expiration date to see if the site is a spam or not. Spammers usually buys the domain for 1 year, they do their spam work and done with the domain. But someone registering a domain name for 10 years for sure they will not do spam.
