Board Thread:Support Requests - Designing Your Wiki/@comment-40174391-20191201201118/@comment-5956954-20191202070016

Hello. There is no quick and easy way I know of that gets your wiki popular overnight. This may be especially true to a wiki about historical events, which the Wikipedia would likely cover moreso.

There are three suggestions I know of that can help:
 * 1) Read Help:SEO and research how Google works, from how it looks at pages to the rules it uses to determine quality websites. The better the score, the higher your rank in searches.
 * 2) Read Help:Best Practices and its blog posts, as they provide in-depth advice to how your wiki articles, nagivation bar, etc. should be to improve quality and SEO.
 * 3) Introduce something unique to the wiki and keep building. As I mentioned, the Wikipedia is prolific with historical events, so your wiki will look like duplicate content. By introducing something unique, your wiki will likely be recognized as original, which boosts search rankings and thus more attention from users.

Regardless, the element of luck is the most influential, and your wiki becoming popular will require patience and creativity. As the "founder", you build the "foundation." I wish you the best!
