Main Space Marketing
You might be interested in reading about Centiare's Main space marketing program. It provides a ready way of linking Main space articles to Directory listings by subject interest and contributions. The semantic tags not only help cross-reference interests, parties and information, but they really improve Google search rankings.
- Unless Main space external links are to actual reference sources, we tend to avoid using them in order to avoid what's going on at Wikipedia. That is, link spam, reverts, edits, deletions, etc. The way we set up Main space marketing is via Centiare:Aficionados; not only is it the most fair to all users, but it tends to force the article to maintain a certain brevity & NPOV.
- What it also does, since Aficionados provides links to interests & contributions, is allow users to create more valuable content within their protected Directory listings. If you have any questions/comments, please take a look at Boxing to see a good example of how it works. Snerfling 17:44, 13 February 2007 (PST)
- Ok, I set it up for you via your User:SEO Consultant page. If you really want to see how the tags work, you should first create a directory listing for the web site you were trying to link to. Once you have that in place, you can do all sorts of interesting things like this user or this one.
