PaidContent points to the latest venture of Jimmy Wales (the wiki guru), WikiCities – a way of creating communities around topics, places, people and more. In a sense its the same principle that people are using with Niche Blogging successfully – its the Niche Wiki approach.
PaidContent points out that the team behind WikiCities are attempting to monetize it via Google’s Adsense which in my mind is a good move as Adsense is perfect for the Niche approach. Paid content says that Wales told the Wall St Journal that Wikicities ‘so close to (earning) zero that it’s not worth mentioning’ – but I suspect with time, traffic growth and some optimizing of their ads that this will change and that the WikiCities could be a real winner.
