:I want to believe that it's BFM because it takes me off the hook. That is, it implies we've done our job by providing an excellent array of technical features presented in a very professional environment. If it BFM, then do we do crazy ass sh!t like you're suggesting, or continue our sincere efforts at alerting business users to the opportunities? [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 16:47, 5 March 2007 (PST)

==Grand Idea==
Brute force marketing first off to attract the page views, then a super easy to find and understand slogan type sound byte to say "centiare listing = high google search". Finally accessibility is limited to wiki geeks which account for .000000000001 percent of the population and even less of the business culture.
When creating an article the template is a great start but something more familiar to the average lay person is needed. On most good sites, amazon for example, to set up an account there are fields to type in (like wikicompany is trying and failing to do).
Instead of an add a free listing have a "get started today" or "Register with centiare"
Page one - enter a valid email address, and a click box (I would like to recieve centiare newsletters and press releases)
Then a continue to step two button with a page X of Y at the bottom, similar to when I "build my car" on honda.com.
Page Two - A basic form like on wikicompany.com that allows users to just fill in the fields. Once they finish
Then page three where three options appear.
1. contact a professional. List wiki developers than can boost the rankings and qualities of their listings (i.e. me)
2. Start the centiare tutorial. Create a super simple [[blah:= is an attribute
3. No thanks, just show me my listing.
Then a final away message "Thanks for creating a centiare listing"
