This is a project to help professional genealogists market themselves for free on FamilySearch Wiki.

FamilySearch Wiki will get you noticed 

  • In 2009, FamilySearch Wiki is on schedule to attract twice as many visitors as the Family History Library, even without doing any marketing or integrating with FamilySearch.org.
  • FamilySearch Wiki will become a tab on FamilySearch.org in 2009, spiking traffic to the wiki.
  • In 2009, FamilySearch will begin large-scale marketing of the wiki. Read: more crazy spikes in traffic.
  • As of April 2009, FamilySearch Wiki gets 75% of its traffic from search engines.

Appropriate marketing on FamilySearch Wiki

  • Post your education, credentials, experience, and professional associations on your user page.
  • Attach sub-pages to your user page which include featured services, examples of client reports, and customer testimonials.

Inappropriate marketing on FamilySearch Wiki

  • Don't add an entry to a page like Ohio Vital Records that says "Joe Genius is a professional genealogist who does fee-based vital records lookups in Ohio vital records. Click here to go to his user page and see his services and fee schedule."
