Why I Created This How to Wiki?
This is in preparation
- As part of my Java teaching for students I created a software many years ago to merge or concatenate pdf documents.
- Later I found out that this software is useful for other people too and similar products are not available free.
- I decided to promote it on my blog "Codes For Us." But how people could find my blog?
- Later I learned that there were two sites who would allow people to teach how they can do things by themselves: eHow and WikiHow sites. I went there and learned how to write for them and created a link to download my software.
- I noticed that many people welcome the move and downloaded my software.
- After a while the eHow locked its site on the public and in place of my software put a commercial software who had paid for the promotion.
- WikiHow came ahead and in very friendly way asked me to create a user page and write articles for them and edit and patrol articles of other similar people (like) to me. They said that in this way people become familiar to my site when they search for the producer of the articles.
- I wrote many articles and every day I spent some time on their site. Gradually I became a Featured Author.
- At this time they removed my only link to my software and put a paid commercial software in its place.
- I discovered this for any article that could be monetised in this way they would remove the original free advised ideas with commercial products that owner companies had paid for the promotion.
- I stopped to work for them and cloned my articles here.
- See nerds have created these software in this easy way to create works and edit them. Easily One create such a monument.
- So far my articles there have created 4,500,000 (four and half million) views that might have created tens of thousands dollars revenue for them not with one link to my site.
