MyWikiBiz welcomes businesses and individuals to become a part of the directory.


MyWikiBiz is a free directory service that facilitates search engine optimization (SEO). One of the best things about MyWikiBiz is that anyone can use it, including: commerical enterprises, non-profit organizations, socio-political groups, government entities, self-employed individuals, job-seekers with a resumé to publicize, actors or artists promoting their biography or images, etc.

MyWikiBiz is powered by the same same collaboration and editing software used by Wikipedia, with the addition of custom extensions that enhance its core functionality.
