I would like to help a friend...

I recently joined a friend in its wiki on books and I would like to help him to promote its wiki but... I've read your pages about this topic, he has followed more or less your advices but today, we are only 40 members, he needs help there and , to help him, I search blogs or forums on lovers of books to promote the wiki there. Can you help me in giving us a few tracks? I thank you a lot, I don't know how to do otherwise...
Keziah.

Well, there are several things you can do:
1.) Use Google and add your site using this URL:
http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
2.) Tell your friends. and Have your friends tell their friends. If any members on your wiki aren't your friends, tell them to tell their friends as well.
3.) Contact a popular site and ask them if you could possibly add an ad on their site to promote yours.
It may take a while, but these three things can help.

Simple, yet effective steps can be taken to ensure that your site see's more visitors:

* Have an easy site name, and a solid site description
http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Site+Name+and+Description

* The Promote my Wiki area is also a great place to go

* Invite friends. Chances are, they'll invite their friends with the same passion as you, and then they'll invite their friends, etc..

* Exchange links with simular sites. If you have a passion, others share it. It’s the essence of Wetpaint Wikis.

* Build better page names and descriptions.

* Link your own content. I mean internally link it. Once a new, interested person on your site see's one great page, chances are they are going to want to see similar pages. That's the beauty of linking

* Use social media tools like Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter to spread the word about your new site
http://www.facebook.com
--and/or--
http://www.myspace.com
--and/or--
http://www.twitter.com

*Get a good, easy to remember URL. If you have something like "csi.wetpaint.com" then it should be easy to remember. But if you have something like "csifansforever122.wetpaint.com" then you may want to try a custom url. Domains are getting cheaper, so start snagging!

Don't forget about tags. They are important in searches. Here is a good example of tags on a page. Not only are they tags but they are links also.


Keyword tags: A - Z Gaming index A-Z cheats index A-Z game reviews index A-Z Game trailers index cheats DS EMGN EMGN Community EMGN Nation Free gaming information free online games Free Xbox Live Game Reviews A - Z index Game trailers Game with the Nation Gameboy Advanced games gaming Gaming community Gaming Community Wiki Gaming FAQ Gaming help Gaming home page Gaming news gaming wiki GBA GTA IV hints home of gaming Live gaming help room Live help Mass Effect review Microsoft MSJ MSJ Gaming News news. Nintendo Nintendo DS Nintendo wii PC Playstation 3 Playstation 3 product info Playstation 4??? PS3 PS3 product information PS4??? ratings Review a game Reviews Sony Super Smash Bros. Brawl Walkthroughs Wetpaint Gaming Wiki Wii Xbox 360 Xbox 360 Live Xbox Live Xbox Live Competition Xbox Live Giveaway
