Uh oh, is the Miami Herald headed for a ban on Wikipedia?
From the article,
12 tips to jump start your online marketing, we have forbidden advice:
QUOTE
WIKI YOUR BUSINESS. Write a Wikipedia entry about your business or product. Wikipedia entries rank high with search engines, particularly Google. And they can garner extra exposure for your business in 2010. Considering there are more than 684 million Wikipedia readers on the Internet, it's a great place to create a presence for your business or product.
I think even better advice (feel free to include this in your forthcoming book Greg) would be to create a Wikipedia entry on your business then vandalize the %6&* out of it from an IP address that couldn't be connected to you (just weird stuff, not things that are any sense believable). Next, announce to the press that you'll be suing everyone you can think of over the defamation. A publicity storm ensues with you as the poor victim, and hey there's no such thing as bad publicity. Obviously, it's something that wouldn't work if everyone did it, so do it while you can and get that vandalism bump.
