Any results?
You're doing a fine job of entering content into the directory. I'd like to share one bit of important advice, though -- if you really want to see your search engine results "pop", you need to more aggressively "wikilink" terms in your listings, such as I just did [[Help:Link|right here]], and you need to consider adding [[Centiare:Semantic tagging|"semantic tags"]] to your content. These tags automatically get "reported" in an RDF Facts table at the bottom of the article, and Google picks up on these tables like a duck on a junebug. We're glad to have you on board Centiare! --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 11:11, 31 January 2007 (PST)

==Semantic Tags - Relations==
I noticed that you're building up a client list at [[Directory:LunaGraphica|LunaGraphica]]. You might be happy to know there's a much easier way of handling these types of relationships via semantic tags and [[Centiare:ASK|ASK]]; specifically, [[Relation:Client Of]].
For example, just use the tag in the following manner at [[Directory:Allied Arts Guild]] or any of LG's other client pages:
<pre>
[[Client Of::Directory:LunaGraphica]]
</pre>
Then, at [[Directory:LunaGraphica|LunaGraphica]]'s page, just write an ASK query like this:
<pre>
<ASK Mainlabel="Client" Header="show" Link="all">
[[Client Of::*|Provider]]
[[Client Of::<q>[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]</q>]]
</ASK>
</pre>
The result will be a nice like Java chart that has all sort of cool little features like auto sort, etc. To see an example of how this construct works, [[Directory:KJ Kitchens|KJ Kitchens]] is using relationships & categories (if you want to further filter client types) quite extensively. If you have any questions/problems, feel free to drop me a line. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:40, 31 January 2007 (PST)
:Hope you don't mind, but I added a [[Relation:Client Of]] tag to your first listed client and then placed an ASK query at your directory page listing this client. We've found out that Google loves these semantic interlinks from a page ranking perspective, so feel free to delete/edit/expand as you see fit.
:Btw, [[Directory:BIG Images|BIG Images]] did a great job with their service sub-pages, so you might want to review what they've done as well. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 16:59, 22 February 2007 (PST)
==Non-Profits==
[[Directory:Allied Arts Guild|Allied Arts Guild]] looks like a nice place. We have an [[Template:Infobox_NPO|non-profit organization infobox]] in case you're interested. It's very similar to the corporate infobox; you can see an example [[Directory:Wikimedia Foundation|here]]. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 07:38, 23 February 2007 (PST)
:You might try the [[Help:Coordinates|geo codes]] (lat/long) for the Woodfire festival listing (and others). They go in the 'reference' section of the infobox like this [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare]] example. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:26, 23 February 2007 (PST)

There's a [http://www.centiare.com/Centiare:Water_Cooler_%28miscellaneous%29#Spring_2007_-_Organization.2FAssociation_marketing discussion] opening up, where I've solicited advice on tweaking our Spring 2007 direct marketing letter.

== Any results? ==
Are you getting any net positive results, especially via Google search ranking, for all of your clients' listings here on Centiare? I know we're still quite small, but it would be encouraging to hear how others are perceiving their efforts here in the Directory. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 07:58, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
