These online paid Wiki pages are totally rocking the net. I’m not even sure where to start because I had my doubts when Million Dollar Wiki launched, but now there are $1 Wiki pages to changing the currency to Euro. Whatever it is, you guys DO know that paid Wikis are the new hype of the soon to be “Web 2.0“.
About 2 weeks ago, I conducted a review on Million Euro Wiki (previously owned by John Cow) and I was able to Interview one of the owners, Paul Hartrick. Before we get into the interview, I’m going to introduce my fellow readers to what Million Euro Wiki really is. I also must add that I found out Neil Duckett has 50% ownership of MEW too. Most of you probably got familiar with him after my review of his blog.
Of course I’m sure most of you know what these Wiki sites already because of all the huge controversies revolving paid pages for a life of 15 years or more. Well, most of these wiki pages have been basing themselves in USD currency. By forking out €75, you are able to purchase a page for yourself. The page may be used for anything, but it is mostly used for advertising and posting information/tips.
Aside from the new hype of Wikis, Million Euro Wiki does what no other paid Wiki site does. For every 25 pages purchased, a page owner (latest 25 pages) is chosen at random to win one of those new tech items. What is the tech item you ask? You will have the chance of winning a iPod Touch, which is basically a iPhone without the “phone” features. Make sure you go check them out now because this would be such a wonderful Christmas gift.
Interview with Paul Hartrick
Why Million Euro Wiki?
As you are aware, we took over MEW from John Cow as we wanted to see
the site continue to operate. Both Neil and Myself own several pages
on Million Euro Wiki and MDW and wanted to ensure the Million Euro
Wiki went to good hands and continued to operate without a purely
money making focus.Why aren’t there any new updates to MEW?
On the contrary, there have been updates. i.e. Navigation Panel,
Categories, Entre Card. We need to ensure customers embrace the simple
rules for making a “Framed Web” environment search robot friendly,
otherwise any major updates will result in only a single page update,
any future updates need to be developed with the customers in mind..Will there be future additions to MEW?
Yes, we have several Ideas but we need the current pages to have good
content, i.e. the navigation Panel and Categories otherwise the
efforts will be wasted. The Million Euro Wiki is a partnership between
the owners and the customers and we both have to play an active role
in the success of the site.What if MEW just stops here?
In my opinion the concept of Million Euro Wiki can’t just stop. Neil
and I are not relying on Million Euro Wiki revenue to live day to day,
so having no pages sales for extended periods of time will not affect
our ability to run the Million Euro Wiki. Just for the record Neil and
I are gainfully employed software engineers working in JapanWhat difference do you give MEW compared to Million Dollar Wiki?
Automated sales process, i.e. No waiting for us to approve. The
Million Euro Wiki has the highest paying Wiki affiliate program. i.e.
$30 per coupon sale. No commission Payable for on selling your own
pages. Search Engine Robots are able to traverse our page structure.
Check Million Euro Wiki and MDW with a search robot simulator for an
idea how the search bots can traverse our structure…
i.e. http://dlperry.com/what_search_engine_spiders_see.htmlWhen will MEW launch off again?
It has already launched, I think continued awareness of the benefits
of what the Wiki sites can bring will see a steady and continued
increase in activity.
Lastly, I would like to thank Paul for going along with my interview because he’s not gaining anything from this, but a extensive review by Bloggin-Ads. Make sure you go check them out if you haven’t and you may even win a free iPod Touch ($399 value).
