Digg it UP - Engineers And Manufufacturers Can Leverage Wikipedia's Gap In Information

“Hey Man who are you!” I was sitting on a wall next to the Armory Park outside the Peabody Essex in historic Salem when this “Goth Chick”. Not exactly Goth, well you do not expect many of them to have a southern accent. It was more than her dress that made her seem out of place, or the accent. For this is Salem, and Salem loves Vampires and things of Halloween, but Red (for that is what I will call her in this articl
A recent ‘research’ project brought to light an area of opportunity - for both industrial websites as well as online information sources, where indeed there is a startling lack of engineering related information available. It’s a good thing, though. Where there is lack, there is…opportunity!
One highly regarded and widely accepted general information source is wikipedia.com, a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Any topic can be introduced and expanded upon; which ofcourse includes topics related to… let’s say… optical enginnering, metal working, etc. You get the idea. However, there is defintely room for growth among these kind of topics in their database.
This gap in information presents a multi faceted opportunity for engineers to support their brand and online marketing initiatives. The advantage that can be taken is rooted in the amount of supporting information that can be supplied to entries, including:
1. “External Links”
List your website as a leading source of information in regards to topic entires. (These links have the ‘no follow’ attribute, so they wont be counted as incoming links by the search engines. They will however, extend your web presence.)
2. “What Links Here”
Other sites that link to your entry (including your own) are listed, again accomplishing the above.
3. “Cite This Source”
Information and claims made inside entries can sometimes require a citation. Provide relevant information on your website, and cite yourself. You have hence gained some authority status.

Electronic data interchange, also known as electronic data processing, is based upon electronic exchange of data between a number of mini and microcomputers in a regular planned system. Electronic funds transfer refers to fund transfers between financial institutions. This allows a large number of businesses to carry out prompt business transactions, orders and invoices. EFT is a precise and efficient system that is c

Every successful small business owner spends thousands every year on advertising. However most people may not be able to tell you how well their advertising is working, how many customers they are getting using various advertising media and what is the real cost of customer acquisition. Even more importantly, most business owners may blink at you if asked what is the real cost of customer retention.If advertisi

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." Albert EinsteinHow does that brand feel?Sometimes the obvious isn’t all that matters when you brand your product. What may be visible to the commoner off the street may not be what you want to present to your customer. When this happens, close your eyes and let your heart view the product. Allow h

Most small businesses do not have a high powered advertising agency to produce award-winning radio commercials for them. Most award-winning radio commercials win for the wrong reasons anyway.Radio commercials should sell the benefits (not features)of your business/product and should be on the same page with print, TV and billboard. A major problem in business advertising today is the lack of coordination

Granted, most of your clients and their customers are’nt frequent wikipedia surfers, but the advantage still plays. As a general rule, the more content you have dispersed on the web, the closer you become to being an online industry leader and authoratative information souce. This, folks, is brand management!
NOTE - If your entry requires a citation, you may be called on the carpet to validate your credentials, according to a recently published article. Wikipedia is serious about providing accurate informaiton from trustworthy sources. One board memeber was recently dismissed for entries he made siting himself as a professor of theology, when infact he was a “24 year old college drop out.” (Ouch.)
More About Wikipedia
Wikipedia is an ecyclopedia collaboratively written by many of its readers. It is a special type of website, called a wiki, that makes collaboration easy. Many people are constantly improving Wikipedia, making thousands of changes an hour, all of which are recorded on article histories and recent changes. Inappropriate changes are usually removed quickly, and repeat offenders can be blocked from editing.
In closing, we leave you in a Gap. We’ll check back to see who’s made an entry…
manufacturers: Search for "short run stamping" or "industrial search engine marketing"
Happy Editing!
