• MyWikiBiz - Another Do-Follow Link Building Technique (2009-08-28) SEO strategist Leela Narasimha Reddy discovers the "good news" about MyWikiBiz in her blog, Link Building SEO Strategies.

• Jimbo Wales: No one can make money from Wikipedia (2009-06-12) Reporter Cade Metz uncovers yet another Wikipedia scandal for The Register, and a brief mention of MyWikiBiz finds its way into the story.

• Journey Journal Update (2009-01-13) MyWikiBiz cited as a link site by The Impulse To Succeed blog, written by a high school student interested in SEO.

  I am going to instead delve deeper, review on, and advertise on sites such as MyWikiBiz.com, which focus on one-way links and give you a chance to show your stuff. In the case of MyWikiBiz, you actually get to make your own wiki page in which you give information on your business, blog, or whatever the case may be. This helps the readers actually know what you are, instead of maybe just following a random link in a list of 100 links.
