Yes, but you absolutely have to get it right the first time because Wikipedia articles are difficult to get back once after they're deleted. Same with BHW. Try posting a banned topic or thread the 2nd time and it's so much harder. It's like having a criminal record.

Looking for Wikipedia specialists to collaborate with. I'm one of them, but sometimes projects require more than one hand. If you have created Wikipedia pages before, then let me know.

Because getting listed on Wikipedia is like getting listed on BHW. Spammy content is immediately deleted, and it takes a ton of time and effort to get approved. Do it wrong the first time, and it's like getting a bad criminal record.

Same with the Wikipedia work that I do. It's a form of native advertising that takes an incredible amount of time and expertise to master. A TON of things that clients and readers generally don't see, including some of the things listed above like content creation and link building.

Good luck. But I think that's kind of underpaid.

Thanks for the tips Zack. This is how Wikipedia works too. They have these minimum wait times and contribution requirements to prevent spam. This is why quality Wikipedia pages that stick cost at least a few hundred dollars. Anything less than that is typically low-quality work done by sloppy guys.

Search results are volatile, unpredictable, and very arbitrary. You can't control it, but you can influence chances of positive outcomes. Why? Because no one owns or controls the Internet. Same with Wikipedia, because you don't own the articles. Anyone guaranteeing results isn't being totally...
