Really Encouraging

Thanks for your message it is really encouraging for us to come back to AboutUs to write about our domain subject because of the personal interaction. --Mayur of IndiaForensic.com, 5 March 2007

I like the idea of this

The idea is cool, and your crawler spider seems to be very efficient! --Ted chou12, 4 Mar 4 2007

Learn about your favorite websites

If you're one of those people who wish you knew a little more about that extra special site you've been racking up hits on, check out AboutUs. Think of them as that guy in your IT department who can tell you everything about any site that's out there. Except you don't have to deal with his cocky attitude and coffee breath. --Benny of CompFused.com in his blog post about AboutUs.org, 5 January 2007

Great website

This is a great website, and a great use of MediaWiki. --Anonymous, 22 Nov 2006

Fantastic Service

Love the idea, and being the early birds to the site, let's hope it tops google and yahoo! --David Beach, 21 Sep 2006

Simply great!! - I like it

A great idea put to simple execution!! Congrats!!! I like it. --Sai Thota, 6 Sep 2006

Talk about what we do

Aboutus.org is a great way to put across to the world what we are doing (for a company, this is a nifty feature), and talk about what we do, what we offer to the community/people etcetera. --Sabarish of Vtap.com in his blog post on AboutUs.org, 19 December 2007

Thank you

I think AboutUs.org is a great idea. I hope it will get better and better over time. Greetings and good luck! --Ott, 29 September 2007

Honored

I was intimidated as hell the first time I came here. Overwhelmed, in fact. But the folks here made it so easy to ask questions and not feel stupid, where helpful in getting my pages straightened out (Thanks Tak...), that I was motivated and honored to be asked to come back here and give my two cents on these issues and truly care about what happens to the site. --User:Ddemarest, 23 July 2007

Interesting and Fun

I think these pages overall- "about us" are not just interesting & fun, but ultimately a useful way for people to get a stronger sense of who the people are that they might choose to deal with online. It's also enjoyable to have space to break out a little bit & pitch your passion! I guess the one thing I might suggest as an overall addition would be a rating tool that gives a thumbs up or down. It seems when things are designed to be more interactive and people get to actively do something it attracts users & as with many things, "easy" seems to rule the day. --Amber, 12 July 2007

More reliable information about websites

I think the idea of Aboutus.org will help new websites gain popularity, and aboutus.org will become a (human intelligent) layer over robotic search results, creating much more reliable information about websites. --Genexbs.com blog post about AboutUs.org

Created right before your eyes

I think AboutUs.org is awesome, I've read so many of the pages, and I've seen the pages being created right before my eyes....there's no experience in the world like that. Robert Williams, 10 May 2007

AboutUs.org silently creeping up as the Next Big Thing?

AboutUs is to Google what Wikipedia is to Encyclopedia Britannica.
Before the vandals come out in full force, I'm seriously believing that AboutUs.org could actually be a better Google than Google. That is, if you believe that wiki searches would produce better results than Google searches, and if you believe that you could tag your way to the top of competitive lists...
We'll see. OTOH, AboutUs.org is an elegant and quick (IMO) way to add wiki to your site. Here's hoping!
Also, here's hoping for Secondary Level Domain and Folder level support. Then again, when all the bogus google-search-criteria-tags.dom domains start being added, the value of AboutUs.org may be diluted. --Gerald Young in his blog post AboutUs.org silently creeping up as the Next Big Thing?, 9 April 2007

AboutUs review from www.adingvalue.com

Doing a quick search on the web I came across this Beta: AboutUs. It seems to be a wiki about web pages, any and all, on the internet. I simply did a search for my domain, AdingValue.com and the site said there was no match. Before I could even find a place on the page to sign-up and add it, it did a little automagic scanning and added it! It even got my about information into the page, wow! This is cool stuff. --André on his blog post about AboutUs, 3 April 2007.

Top-notch service from a top-notch company

When I first decided to have AboutUs write an article about my business I was not sure what the results were going to be. Well I can tell you that my expectations were shattered. The Page Rank of my website, SedonaTalkRadio.com, went up one full point within 2 weeks! Not only that but they are extremely professional and easy to work with. I was stunned by how quickly they created my business article. A top-notch service from a top-notch company. I highly recommend their company to you. --Daniel Stief, creator of SedonaTalkRadio.com, on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 27 June 2008

Best investment you could ever make

As the owner of a moderately obscure website in a highly competitive market, I'm grateful for finding AboutUs.org. Shortly after my article was completed my Alexa score increased by 429%. Without a blink of reservation, I think this service is the best investment you could ever make for your website or company, and the most affordable. --Mark Husson of 12Listen.com and 12Angel.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 6 June 2008

Amazing work on my AboutUs Article

WOW, Amazing! You did an excellent Job!!! We are very impressed with the work you all did, and are going to be ordering another one of these right away. -- Michael Hodgdon of FirstLightNet.com and Fishing.net on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 30 May 2008


AboutUs.org is the place

If you would like to know more about a company behind a domain name AboutUs.org is the place where you should have a look since almost every domain name registered got its own page... --Andres of XavierMedia.com in his blog post How to create your own AboutUs.org page, 20 May 2008

Be found on AboutUs

It never hurts to have one more way for people to find out about you and your business, and that is exactly what AboutUs.org is about... You never know, perhaps your next big client or job will come from them finding you there. -- LGR Webmaster Blog on AboutUs.org - A Wiki Website For Websites, 20 May 2008

AboutUs pages contribute to a website's visibility

AboutUs indexes very well in most search engines. As a result, AboutUs pages contribute to a website's visibility. By having an AboutUs page that connects a business to its logical tags/categories, as well as to its industry neighbors, AboutUs is building a valuable, interconnected resource. --KillerStartups.com's review of AboutUs

Wonderful site

AboutUs.org is an wonderful site for SEO and also so many here. Thanks to the people who are working under this. Thanks & Regards, Ur's -- DeepU, 2 March 2008

AWESOME

This is an awesome use for a wiki.
--Dsgncr8or, 25 February 2008

Worthwhile service

Link building sites don't get any better than Aboutus.org. And the nicest thing about Aboutus.org, if the community continues to keep out the riff-raff, it's creating a really worthwhile service for all of us. --Pete Caputa of PC4Media.net in his blog post about AboutUs.org

Trusted resource

Simply make the page say more about your site, show people your best posts, your best categories & whatever else you feel like. In turn you’ll have some nice one way backlinks to your site from a trusted resource. --EarnersBlog.com's post on link building with AboutUs, 3 Jan 2008

Ted...

Ted, you are a great guide to AboutUs. I will try to extend the same courtesy and respect to others who will cross my path on this Wiki and will share my knowledge as you have been doing with me. --Igorberger, 26 December 2007


Wisest choices

In my marketing campaign, AboutUs.org has proven to be one of the wisest choices I’ve made.
--Jan Holiday in her comment on the AboutUs Weblog, 25 July 2008


Money well spent

You guys did a great job on the article about my website! Saad, our WikiCoach, highlighted our unique products and told the story behind our website in a way that conveyed the kind of image that we want, as if he read my mind. I am impressed and can't get over how pretty our article is and how good it makes us look. This was money well spent, and I will be sending my friends your way!
--Karen Hutchinson of BlueLips.com on her Deluxe AboutUs Article, 7 July 2008

The deluxe article has allowed even more customers to find us.

During the process of researching different ways to market our latest web site, I received a phone call about AboutUs deluxe article writing service. My wife and I decided to use About Us writing service because of it’s potential to increase results in search engines and for the additional exposure.

We were immediately introduced to the person who would be writing the article for our Tea and Wares. Within few days, our article was ready for review as promised. We are more than pleased with the quality of the article and the professional service rendered.

It wasn’t until our article was published that our web site showed up in Ask.com. Tea and Wares AboutUs page and the deluxe article have allowed even more customers to find us.

-- Rudy & Gloria Pitts, owners of TeaAndWares.com, on their Deluxe AboutUs Article, 4 July 2008

You guys are great!

I really like my AboutUs article - you guys are great! Keep it going!
--Andy Piper of PiperPartners.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 8 September 2008


Really pleased

G'day from Australia! The land of strange idioms and great people! We are really pleased with the staff at aboutus.org. They have completed a blinding article for our little aussie website. Feel free to check it out! ockalist article
--Katerina Hamill of Ockalist.com.au on her Deluxe AboutUs Article, 25 August 2008

LOVE IT THERE

Hi Mark, thanks for all your help on my AboutUs pages. I love it there and this is a great site too. I REALLY DO!
-- Jan D. Holiday (via Facebook), 22 August 2008

Helped tremendously

I'm glad I listened to you about my article and everything. When we first spoke my PageRank was 0/10, and I am now at 2/10. My Alexa ranking was 1.6 million, and I am now at about 800k. I think your article plus the other stuff has helped tremendously.
--Richard Joseph of NYMinuteDating.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 14 August 2008

A customer for life!

I always love to read the Deluxe articles and even though we are on a tight budget I thought it was necessary to go ahead and start one for this site. You guys can expect me to become a regular customer with my other domains because I think having this deluxe page will positively impact the sites in every aspect.
I am already digging the fact that my AboutUs.org page is crushing my competitors for some keywords I was having trouble getting the edge on. We have really started pushing into SEO hard over the last month, and I think the AboutUs.org page is helping this quite a bit from the analysis we have recently done.
AboutUs.org has a great game plan, and you guys are doing everything you need to be a successful and recognized leader in the web information industry. I love the idea, the support, the culture, everything... I WILL be a customer for life!
--Keith Ross of TheNetworkSource.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 25 July 2008
Visibility and credibility

By every measure, I’ve found AboutUs to be a high quality site and organization. There is no question that my business page on AboutUs has given my company extra visibility and credibility in the search engines. The site tools are great, easy to use and learn. I paid for a Spotlighted Article (Deluxe AboutUs Article) and worked with Mehr Aslam. She was wonderful and I was very satisfied with the results and her professionalism.
I’d decided that it was important for my business to have a quality article on AboutUs but I knew it was unlikely I ever find the time to develop it. By purchasing the article writing service I was able to get it done quickly and be certain I had the most professional page possible. Paying for it also forced me to focus on it. Paying for Mehr Aslam’s expert assistance was well worth the time I saved.
--Malcolm Uffelman of EstampeInc.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 19 September 2008

Satisfied customers
These are some of the comments from our anonymous customer satisfaction survey. Here's what they had to say about their Deluxe AboutUs Articles and experience with us:

* It is a must have for any company needing an online presence. Other online competing services to AboutUs just weren’t feasible. It is outstanding service and quality at a very reasonable expense. I am very pleased with the instant and long term effect of our AboutUs experience. Thank you all!
* As a small business, I needed an affordable way to reach prospective customers.
* Very professional and were easy to work with through the process. Very easy to contact.
* Although when I purchased the page rank was average I thought that in time it would become much better and therefore be a valuable link to our site. We do get about 20-30 referrals a month from the AboutUs article, which is great.
* well written article, and when people google search me it shows up near the top
* It looked like a great value. I couldn’t create a page for myself at that price.
* Speed, customer service, suggestions, personal touch

I wish I could keep AboutUs a secret

I had an amazing experience with AboutUs and our writer. He showed extreme care and attention to detail to make our article very impressive. This service is a must have for any company needing an online presence. It is an outstanding service and quality at a very reasonable expense. I am very pleased with the instant and long term effect of our AboutUs experience. I wish I could keep AboutUs a secret, but I have had such a great experience, it must be shared. FlameDepot & I have zero complaints. AboutUs is highly recommended and we endorse your services! Thanks again!
--Melissa of FlameDepot.com on her Deluxe AboutUs Article, 10 September 2008

Alexa rank: 1.6 million to 343 k

An AboutUs article is cool to have, and I believe it has helped me in my rankings. It also shows my competitors and others that I care about my online business. Unlike Google Search and other things I have no control over, my AboutUs article tells my company's story just as I want it told. The price is right, your writers are great (Sylvia Orduno), and your website is nice and simple. My Alexa Rank has risen from 1.6 million to 343k in a matter of only two months. AboutUs.org was a very big part of that.
--Richard Gabela of NYMinuteDating.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 23 September 2008

The website owner finally has a voice

We would love to thank aboutus.org - the website that allows site owners to have their say on their own website and tell the world what they really do. As soon as we make a change to our site, aboutus.org is the first place we visit to tell the world. Keep up the good work guys.
--Olaf Kunigk of mevilla.com, 23 September 2008

True value

You have left me feeling like Tanya has received a true value for her modest investment with AboutUs.
--Greg Thompson of SearchLawrence.com on their Deluxe AboutUs Article, 22 September 2008

200% worth every penny

AboutUs.org has helped me gain the competitive advantage in my very active web market. The article has not only helped boost my rank, but also increased my traffic a ton. Everything was extremely awesome, and far exceeded my expectations. Saad is just so awesome I cannot even put into words how impressed I was. I think the service was way under priced, absolutely awesome, great wording and layout... Just flat out 200% worth every penny, and I will be obtaining more articles from AboutUs.org in the very near future.
--Keith Ross of TheNetworkSource.com on his Deluxe AboutUs Article, 3 October 2008

Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism of my representative. The article written for me was of high quality. I already generated quite a bit of traffic from AboutUs exposure. Thank You.

Helpful resource

You guys have a user-friendly system that makes it easy to optimize listings. AboutUs is a really helpful resource and I've enjoyed learning more about the little tricks that make a page pop out at viewers.
--Jon Barilone of SEOP.com, 17 October 2008

Our Experience with AboutUs and Web 2.0

We first stumbled upon AboutUs after running a few basic searches on a popular search engine. I had some previous experience with Wiki and Web 2.0, we quickly noticed that upon registration we could edit & thus optimise our page here. This started a chain of events, first of all we realized that the information we had about us on-line was actually rather out dated and needed to be freshened up. Just for helping us realize this we decided to opt in for a deluxe article, not knowing what to expect, we started the collaboration effort by pumping in as much information about us into the Wiki as humanly possible. Every day we would tweak the information displayed on AboutUs, upload videos, add new sections, re-arrange the content available and so forth. After some time we noticed that someone on the other end at about us was also helping us tweak the content we had available here. Next we optimise the content we had for some of our other websites, including our very own corporate site. The results were fantastic, a chain of events that only Web 2.0 could facilitate. Next, typing our brand name into a search engine displayed first our website and then an AboutUs page that we have control over. Perfect!! That's what we were looking for! A good web experience for us and our users. Well done AboutUs.org.

    Stretch Tips

    When stretching be careful not to over stretch any of your muscle groups and as always if you feel pain during your stretch discontinue it immediately and consider seeking professional attention.

    Remember stretching is a key aspect to maintaining a healthy body and should become a part of your regular workout routine.

    I'm James Haron for About.com Health, thanks for watching. To learn more vist us on the web at Health.About.com

    Lower Back Stretch

    To stretch the lower back extend one leg cross the other leg over it turn away and place the elbow into the other leg. Its not uncommon to feel a popping of the vertebrae when doing this stretch.

    Groin Stretch

    To stretch the groin simply place the feet together pull in toward yourself grab onto your ankles and apply force with your elbows down on your legs. If your doing this stretch correctly you'll feel a pulling on your upper inner thigh.

    Leg Stretch- Quadraceps

    Now we are going to stretch the quads while balancing on one leg grab the ankle of the opposite leg or if you need to find something stationary to hold on to pull the ankle in towards the buttock. If done correctly the front of your legs will feel looser.

    Leg Stretch- Hamstrings

    To stretch the hamstrings bring the feet together keeping the legs straight without locking the knees and reach for the toes. If your unable to touch your toes reach as far forward as you can so that you can feel the pulling sensation in the back of your thighs.

    Leg Stretch, Calve Muscle

    Now we are going to stretch the calve muscles, find something stable to push on to. With one foot forward stretching your back leg apply pressure to the ball of your foot. You're going to really want to push on the front of your foot. So that you can feel the stretch on your calf which is highlighted on the chart. If you did the stretch successfully the calf muscle should feel less tight then before.

    When to Stretch your Lower Body

    Stretching is an important aspect of your workout and should be done before and after you work out. However, if you only have time to do it once during your workout I recommend that you do it at the beginning to help prevent injury.

    The main muscle groups in your lower body consist of the calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, groin, lower back and Abs. These muscles are very important for any sport that involves running or jumping. Such as basketball or tennis.

    Lower Body and Leg Stretch

    with Jacob Bronstein

    Learn a thorough lower Body and leg stretch routine, including stretches for the calves, hamstrings, quadraceps, groin, and lower back muscles, to be done before any lower body work out or exercise.
