Guess what? you can monetize your articles on Wikiafripedia! by StrangerForSex: 8:49am On Jul 25, 2021 |
If you like it, feel free to publish to the Wiki Imagine if Wikipedia was like that... PS. Wikiafripedia aims to empower Bloggers as YouTube is doing for Vloggers. Contrary to what one might think, monetization doesn't make knowledge less free instead, it might empower the contributors of knowledge to make knowledge even more available. PREFACE

See the stupid name you gave your project because you want it to sound like Wikipedia. |

All Wikipedia Editorial policy except the GNG (General Notability Guidelines) which on Wikiafripedia is RNG (Regional Notability Guidelines) applies there, but the RNG enables Wikiafripedia to accepts Regionally Notable topics like the BLP of of the AYE President (the current president of the largest entrepreneurial organization in the world), whose article was said to have failed GNG on Wikipedia about a year ago now shines on Google from Wikiafripedia. That means, Google for example is much more interested on a well written piece so, if you have a well written piece worthy of an encyclopedia article like SW Peters - it would certainly meet the first page of Google. It doesn't matter to search engine whether you published it on Wikiafripedia or Wikipedia. What matters is that it be well written. But if you choose to published it on Wikiafripedia, you can monetize that your article with responsible ads like those from Amazon, and earn revenue based the strength of traffic that it drives from search to itself.

SocialJustice: Hello SocialJustice. Apologies, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Peter Paul and I'm just one of Wikiafripedia Associates. The founder of the Project is Godman Andrew. But, may I please know why you think Wikiafripedia sounds stupid? I was thinking of it like Wiki(a way of building collaborative website) Afri(maybe for Africa) Pedia(short for encyclopedia), I guess? |

One might want to argue that Wikiafripedia articles are ranked as Wikipedia lacks articles on those topics, but that's not true. So what happen if both Wikis have articles on the same topic? See for yourself below - search makes one stand next to the other or at least both meets the first page of Google.

StrangerForSex:The logic with these names is to keep it simple and short so it is easy to spell, pronounce and remember. Afripedia, Pediafrik or you could even go very creative to form names from other major languages. Like German, French, Italian and so on. The thing to do is open Google translate and start translating Africa, Wikipedia and encyclopedia. Their synonyms are also not left out. Finally, whatever name you form, test it out on domain name search to ensure that domain name is available. Good luck. |

SocialJustice: Nice response. Unfortunately, I think is too late for them to make changes to the domain name now as the Wiki is >2years old with substantial Direct Traffic. Actually I did emailed their Tech. Dept. (shortly after your first commented) to understand why they choose 'Wikiafripedia' and the respond I got few hours ago is that, they want articles on Wikiafripedia to rank on search engines for the keywords 'wiki' 'afripedia', 'pedia' as well as 'encyclopedia' from day-one, pending when Wikiafripedia has grown domain authority muscles to command great respect from search engines since articles on Wikiafripedia are intended to be in-par or almost so with those of Wikipedia in-time. Such that, when people search for articles like [url=google.com/search?q=Alia+shelesh+wiki]SSSniperwolf wiki[/url] or [url=google.com/search?q=thisiswhyimbroke+wiki]Thisiswhyimbroke wiki[/url], Wikiafripedia would be among results listed on search whether Wikipedia has an article on the subject or not as Wikiafripedia currently has a domain authority <1/4 that of Wikipedia although, Google barely gives a damn, but other engines does. Also, Wikiafripedia uses the same editorial policies as Wikipedia such that when people click-through it's results on search - they don't get disappointed. For example, see the Hushpuppi article on Wikiafripedia. That article was deleted thrice on Wikipedia for failing GNG, then when people do 'Hushpuppi wiki' Wikiafripedia serves really well and even as now that it has passed GNG, Wikiafripedia still ranked on the first page of Google along with Wikipedia, BBC, Forbes... for the wiki keyword, and no.1 for afripedia keyword. Finally, Wikiafripedia uses the same encyclopedia software as Wikipedia to aid Google and other search engine to developed a knowledge graph for most of it articles. Take for example the first screenshot of this post that concern the AYE President. I only asked Google 'Summy Smart Francis', Yet, Google told me that people also asked for 'who is summy smart francis?' and it uses it knowledge graph from Wikiafripedia to tell people the answer to that question. That means that Google understands and probably trust articles on Wikiafripedia as any other websites that meets it's knowledge graphs criterion. So, in summary, the domain name Wikiafripedia was chosen for SEO sake according to the Wiki Tech Dep. Also according to them, Wikiafripedia aims to empower Bloggers as YouTube is doing for Vloggers. And contrary to what one might think, monetization does not make knowledge less free instead, it might empower the contributors of knowledge to make knowledge even more available. 1 Like
