Wiki Sells Over 1000 Web Pages in 11 Days
Zedomax Network has launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com
(PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Zedomax Network, a San Francisco-based Web2.0 company, has launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com on October 12th. Users can buy a web page for only ten dollars guaranteed for at least 15 years. There is a strong buzz among bloggers and eBay users that the One Buck Wiki might be the next marketing tool for traffic and search engine optimization.
Since their launch 11 days ago, the One Buck Wiki seems to have caught fire among some of the Internet entrepreneurs, selling over 1000 pages while averaging about 100 pages per day.
Tempted by the exponential growth of the website, couples users have bought 50 pages at a time buying product keywords as "MP3" and "Cellphone". The One Buck Wiki page-owners have even started selling their pages on eBay.
Most users of the One Buck Wiki have pasted YouTube videos, forums, blogs, or simply put some interesting content with ads to generate revenue from incoming traffic. Some users have even bought their own names in order to reserve their spot in history.
Users can buy a page for only 10 dollars (Limited time only). As page owners, they can promote a blog, e-store or any other website(s). The page(s) users buy will solely have their content and no one else's.
"Basically, it's like Wikipedia but you can buy your own page that only you can edit. With all the spam issues with Wikipedia, paid Wikis such as One Buck Wiki are going to be great alternatives to businesses that are trying to promote their products and services," says Max, One Buck Wiki's founder.
The value of all pages will go up to $20 per page once when they have sold 2000 pages. At the rate they are selling their pages, One Buck Wiki might sell another 1000 pages within the next couple weeks.
The One Buck Wiki is a highly developed brand "new" concept on the ideas of the MDW (MillionDollarWiki.com) and the MEW (MillionEuroWiki.com).
The MillionDollarWiki does seem to have excited the Internet crowd, with some customers buying up to 15 pages at a time. Pages have even been traded, with the "Business" page selling on eBay for $6100.
Basically, the difference between the MillionDollarWiki and the OneBuckWiki is that a person can buy a page for ten dollars instead of one hundred dollars.
They have also launched the Five Dollar Wiki where users can buy pages for five dollars.
Zedomax Network will also be launching more Wiki sites in the near future where users will be able to benefit from community traffic and viral marketing.

Verisign: What's To Like?
Verisign ICANN monopoly under attack
Posted: 22 Oct 2007 04:13 AM CDT at Domain Tools Blog
A new hope has just surfaced against the Verisign-ICANN monopoly. ICANN granted Verisign a contract that has no ability to end and has price increases that are baked into the contract forever. The new hope is an underdog watch group known as the "Coalition for ICANN Transparency, Inc." (CFIT) that has filed a motion to declare the Verisign-ICANN contract a monopoly according to the Sherman Act. This is the third time they have brought the suit against ICANN and Verisign. The head lawyer on the case is Bret Fausett a sharp ICANN observer. There is not much hope that CFIT will win against such a titan, the other side has been able to get the case dismissed two times before, however I think the case is very strong and very accurate. The reason CFIT will face an up hill battle is because ICANN and Verisign have a lot of money to fight the lawsuit. Verisign has an extra $20 Million a year thanks to the contract and ICANN and VeriSign baked in a new ICANN fee that would be assessed on VeriSign and passed on to the registrars and ultimately passed on to consumers. This fee would result in excess of approximately $150 million dollars to ICANN over the contracted period of time and would be an end run around the existing ICANN budget approval process. The Court has already recognized that to eliminate competitive bidding violates the Sherman Act. The CEO of Tucows went on public record that they could provide DotCom registry services for $2 a name, which prompted the CEO of GoDaddy, the world's largest registrar, to say that GoDaddy could do it for a dollar a name. Meanwhile the Chinese Registry CNNIC has figured out how to do provide global registry services for 13 cents a name per year. There is certainly a competitive market to run the DotCom registry.
