Help Ahad

Actually, I'm afraid they would consider the context of the paper on the site.

And so does Google, actually. The search alogrhythms degrade links to and from pages that don't "agree" with word content from the rest of the site. Also, it's not the amount of postings that Google likes (in fact, it will depreciate identical material found on many sites), but links. And forum links don't count.

The way to puff Ahad on the search engines would be for everybody to LINK to him. Or mention him.

Thing is, though, the wikidudes look at those links and won't take seriously a link from or astro paper posted on a romance writer site or whatever.

Lin,
you may be right, but it's worth a try using both methods.

I don't mind adding a link on my site to other authors sites even if they don't have a link to mine. Though as Lin says google is aware of the many tricks people use to help others rankings and punish those sites for it. For this reason I would be hesitant to do as you propose but you are to be commended for wishing to help our friend.

Seems like people could post tweets about it so that folks with clout in the area will find the information and make comments of their own about it.

What's the status of the publication of a paper in a respected journal?

I'm going ahead with my own suggestion. I've created a separate space for "Ahad's Constant." It needs some revision but it is up if you care to look. Just go to my website.

hi everyone. I have a question about the wikipedia, I assume its the online encyclopedia.
I added my book to some content on the site. There was an article or page that was on the subject of my book. And I thought I would add that a book has been published on the subject.

I just joined wikipedia, is it legal to do that? It was just two sentences to mention it. This might be a silly question but I hope you understand the question and could help me.

Thanks

You will probably be deleted because unless you got the fame you ain't got the name.

So we cant do that? The subject is very rare to have a book out on it. Actually a book may have never been written on it. I added it for people's attention. A subject like property or start a business would have hundreds and hundreds of books on the market so authors wouldn't think of adding it and couldn't do it.

It has not been deleted yet, but it has been edited for grammar. Shall I leave it on there? Am not sure what to do?

I would leave it, just to see how long it lasts. You never know it may survive the deletist on there. I tried to add my first book Teddy the Bear to it but I didn't get away with it. I hope you have greater luck, kepeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks. I just found out that someone that has done the editing has even put the source at the end of the page which has link details/ISBN number for the book! I guess its alright then. I hope anyway.
