Doesn't Matter How Many Pulitzers You Have...

The Dark Underbelly of Wikipedia With My Wikipedia Editor, Madame X Thursday, November 6, 11AM US Eastern CLICK HERE TO REGISTER   Mel,   Philip Roth is perhaps the most respected living American novelist. With a Pulitzer Prize, TWO National Book Awards, and THREE PEN/Faulkner Awards, Roth is a giant of the literary world. But when his biographer tried to make a change to the Wikipedia article on one of Roth's most celebrated books, Wikipedia editors said, not so fast. That's right. The biographer, working with Roth's explicit approval, tried to remove a paragraph from the entry about Roth's The Human Stain, and was asked, Can you verify that? Well, yeah, I work for Mr. Roth. I'm his official biographer.     Not good enough. It wasn't until Roth wrote an open letter to The New Yorker complaining about the process that the offending paragraph was finally removed.   The lesson?  Wikipedia is pretty darned strict about what it considers verifiable sources. When your own official biographer can't make changes to an entry about your own book...well, that's pretty strict. You can waste tons of time, money and effort on Wikipedia if you don't have a trusty guide to lead you over the rocky terrain. I know from experience. I had my own Prove you are Wikipedia-worthy incident myself a few years ago. But, since Wikipedia is now the 6th most visited site on the whole flipping internet...a site that shows up in 96% of noun searches on Google...a site that can be SEO gold for some entrepreneurs... I took action. I hired Madame X.  And she whipped my Wikipedia entry into shape, making it challenge-proof.   If you Google me now, you'll see my Wikipedia entry is the 2nd result. Great credibility. Thanks, Madame X. Are you Wikipedia worthy? Can Madame X do for you, what she did for me?

This Site Shows Up in 96% of Google Searches...Are YOU On it?

The Dark Underbelly of Wikipedia With My Wikipedia Editor, Madame X Thursday, November 6, 11AM US Eastern CLICK HERE TO REGISTER   Mel,   Several years ago, sitting around at a mastermind group, a bunch of us got the brilliant idea to write Wikipedia entries for each other. At the time, I was certifiably internet famous...when that meant even less than it means now.  I had my Definitive Guide to Google Adwords ebook out. I had wowed the crowds at all the geekiest internet marketing seminars. My Adwords coaching and consulting business was really starting to zoom. Everyone in my little world knew who I was and thought I was awesome.    But not the folks at Wikipedia. I got a terse message from them: This appears to be a vanity posting and will be removed until verifiable, objective evidence is provided that this subject meets our notability guidelines.   (Emphasis mine.)   Translation?  We don't know who the heck you are...prove you're somebody. I coveted that entry and so should you. Wikipedia is the sixth most visited site on the ENTIRE Internet, it's a site that one study found ranks in the top 5 results for 96% of noun searches. For some, it can be SEO gold. So, I did two things. First, I started working on getting those verifiable third party citations in The New York Times, USA Today, and other respected sources.   And second, I hired a Wikipedia expert. I'll call her Madame X for now. Madame X wrote and continues to edit my Wikipedia entry to make it bullet proof. And since approximately 1,000 entries get deleted every. single. day...that's no small order. She tough and she knows her stuff... She's been editing Wikipedia entries since 2005. She's been a confirmed editor since 2008. She's made about 10,000 edits to Wikipedia entries She's created or helped create dozens of articles (mostly biographies of living people, the most challenged category on the site!) She serves on the panel that mediates disagreements about biographies and decides which biographical articles to delete. In short, she's a Wikipedia rock star. And on November 6, she'll be joining me for a quick-hit webinar we're calling How to Make Sure Your Entry Isn't Sabotaged by Passive-Aggressive Thugs (& How to Get an Entry if You Don't Have One!).  Should you be on the world's most common search engine result site?
