How do I add my pages to categories?
Here's how you can add your page(s) to as many categories as you want. You can even add new categories if one doesn't exist for you.
Simple add the following code:
[[Category:Advertising]]
You can replace the word Advertising with any other category word you wish. To see a list of existing categories, you can always scroll to the bottom of our Main_Page.
You can also add your pages and a description to the category pages, which are user-editable. For example, you can goto and edit the page.
This will give you "DOUBLE" presence, meaning you will show up on categories plus the description. Still don't get it? Don't worry. We constantly surf user's pages and add them for you or you can always e-mail us with a description to support [at] fivedollarwiki.com. :)
What does this for your pages?
Basically, you will get indexed 10 times better by search engines since now search engines have categories to relate to. The more categories you relate to, the better you will show up for your keywords.
Here's a list of category codes you can simply copy and paste:
[[Category:Advertising]] [[Category:Animals]] [[Category:Blogs]] [[Category:Bizarre]] [[Category:Business]] [[Category:Free]] [[Category:E Stores]] [[Category:Games]] [[Category:Health]] [[Category:Home]] [[Category:Humor]] [[Category:Law]] [[Category:Marketing]] [[Category:Medical]] [[Category:Money]] [[Category:Movies]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Social Networking]] [[Category:Technology]] [[Category:Web Design]] [[Category:Web Technology]]
