RE: Building Wikipedia On Hive

in LeoFinance2 years ago

We can see there are 24 links in the first paragraph alone. Each of them goes to another Wikipedia page. Can you imagine what does that to the Google spider once it gets into Wikipedia? Internally, it is going to bounce around among billions of links, all related to each other.

Is it any wonder why Google ranks it so high?

There are so many other factors affecting search result rankings other than keyword relevancy and links. Mediawiki is most likely designed to support some of the latest features in search engines and has metadata optimized to a level similar to Wordpress. Hive would need a custom frontend for wikis to support all the features.

The biggest obstacle for using Hive for wikis, in my opinion, is how posting and editing permissions work. I think Hive would need a new feature to let the owner =author allow other users edit their posts. Otherwise the wikis will become like commercial digital encyclopedia where the publisher collect editors' texts in one publication. Maybe Hive could allow patches from other users saved on the blockchain and then it would be up to the frontends to filter out bad patches, spam and vandalism.

I can't tell how well this idea would work in practice because I don't know much about how versioning works in patching.

Sort:  

That is true but have to start somewhere.

Right now, we aren't even driving much in the way of organic traffic to Hive or the associated applications.

There are some movements though like PoSh to increase backlinks and some instructional posts about how to improve SEO in posted content.

Some well curated topic centric communities hosting their own break away community sites and linking back to Hive frontends could do a lot for Pageranks. You need that domain authority about a topic for backlinks to have more meaning I believe but it is better to consult an expert before investing resources for this idea.

That is true about the name. It is evident that having that in the url is vital.

Blockchain.com comes up at the top for a reason.

Always an interesting topic since it seems nobody truly knows what the search engines are doing or how they are changing things up.
