Google's PageRank of MyWikiBiz.com

4

Google's PageRank algorithm is the system that originally powered the search engine's rankings (and remains an important factor today). The Google Toolbar shows a score from 1 to 10 (on a logarithmic scale, meaning it is an order of magnitude more difficult to achieve a 5 over a 4, etc.) that estimates the relative link popularity of a page.

Other sites with PageRank 4/10

• Peoria Journal-Star, Peoria, Illinois' newspaper
• The Daily Iowan, Iowa City's morning newspaper
• Naples Daily-News, Naples, Florida's newspaper
• Bartender Magazine
• Freemasonry.org
• League of American Investors

Our Goals for 2008

Traffic

MyWikiBiz started the year at 611,528th place on Alexa.com. We hope to trim 15% per month for 12 months:

End of January = 520,000 or better
Feb = 442,000
Mar = 376,000
Apr = 320,000
May = 272,000
Jun = 231,000
Jul = 196,000
Aug = 167,000
Sep = 142,000
Oct = 120,000
Nov = 102,000
Dec = 87,000 (accomplished in February 2009)

We were on pace through about late June 2008, but then our traffic patterns ceased their growth pattern.

Prior to re-launch, we ended 2007 with 350 weekly unique visitors (about 1500 monthly) according to StatCounter. We want to increase this important measure 15% per month for 12 months:

End of January = 1720 per month or better - - - actual = 2355
Feb = 1,975 - - - actual = 2,678
Mar = 2,280 - - - actual = 3,452
Apr = 2,625 - - - actual = 3,379
May = 3,010 - - - actual = 5,378
Jun = 3,485 - - - actual = 4,760
Jul = 4,000 - - - actual = 5,428
Aug = 4,600 - - - actual = 4,364
Sep = 5,290 - - - actual = 6,049
Oct = 6,085 - - - actual = 5,635
Nov = 7,010 - - - actual = 6,777
Dec = 8,040 - - - actual = 12,255

Press releases and media

Aim for 12 press releases by the end of the year. Garner at least one "mainstream national media" paragraph or article about MyWikiBiz. We had ambitions to track the number of blog reactions linking to www.mywikibiz.com according to Technorati, but that service seems to be picking up actual MyWikiBiz pages as blog feeds, so we're getting conflicting data.

Featured partner

By the end of the year, we want to have landed one "recognizable name" partner organization that will use MyWikiBiz to showcase their own database in some way. They will have a staff or community of editors who will contribute at least an edit a day on their "stuff". Something like Little League Baseball, a trade union, or historical society.
