Worker ID: A1ZIZWP02EBJG -- This is a decent idea you have here. All kinds of information on a business/creative/whatever right at your fingertips. I feel that the "Wikipedia look" is one that people are becoming increasingly familiar and comfortable with, while fancy-schmancy moving graphics/frames etc. are on their way out. Therefore, having each site in the familiar and simple Wikipedia-style layout is a great idea. I think this could really take off one day.

- Journey Journal Update (2009-01-13) MyWikiBiz cited as a link site by The Impulse To Succeed blog, written by a high school student interested in SEO.
I am going to instead delve deeper, review on, and advertise on sites such as MyWikiBiz.com, which focus on one-way links and give you a chance to show your stuff. In the case of MyWikiBiz, you actually get to make your own wiki page in which you give information on your business, blog, or whatever the case may be. This helps the readers actually know what you are, instead of maybe just following a random link in a list of 100 links.
