Forum:New website

I am launching a website. www.TeesRoc.com. This is a multi-vendor platform of the best designers selling their OWN graphic tees. Is wiki a great place to promote a website? How do you guys use wiki?


 * Wikis are not meant for website promotion. They are a sort of online encyclopedia about different subjects based on the interests of the users contributing to a specific wiki. So you can have wikis about games, fashion, food, jewelry, known persons, cars, yourself, your neighboorhood, countries, religion, and many many many more subjects.


 * However, promotion of other sites isn't smart, since it is considered spam, does not increase the site it's page ranking (mediawiki does add nofollow tags automatically to all external links) and generally result either deletion or even a ban for the user who is doing this on a regular basis, which might be without warning.


 * If you however know a lot of in depth information on a subject, for instance t shirts, feel free to start up your wiki about it or find one and contribute to it. You even might become an administrator (who is a normal user with some extra buttons), and if interested can eventually maybe even make it to staff member. However, there are a lot of members with over 25K edits not being granted staff promotion. So it's all up to you.


 * Watermarks on all images, give brief descriptions of what the images are, give us background bios of the artists.... It could work. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  17:14, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

 * Another option is visiting Special:AdSS#form on the wiki, but it does not work on Central. 17:59, November 22, 2011 (UTC)
