Wikitribune social, also known as WT social is a Social medium owned by Wikipedia’s founder. It was announced by Jimmy Wales (co founder of Wikipedia). Finally, Most awaited WT.social was launched in October 2019. WT social is often referred to as an alternative to Facebook and Twitter by many authors. However its algorithm and core features are different from those of of Facebook and Twitter. Let’s review this new microblogging website in detail.
The founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales took a new initiative to create a new social platform named as “WT.Social” (Wikitribune Social). WT.Social was launched on October 2019 and it looks like a combination of Wikipedia (Editing nature of Wikipedia) with Social Media. Jimmy Wales designed WT.Social to be a social media network. He launched WT.Social as a rival of Twitter and Facebook. Because there are many fake news circulated on Twitter and Facebook, so he wants to give authentic news to the audience.
Similarly, WT Social also believes in citation and sources like its parent Wikipedia. Personally, i like this feature, along with the Talk page inherited from Wikipedia. I have signed up already, if you do too, feel free to connect with using this link : Ahmad Affan at WT Social
Need improvements in architecture. Jimmy Wales and his team members must work on the architect side.
Users are not bothering this website due to lack of functionality with friends. They must increase the functionality of the medium.
As everything on the platform is editable, so they need to restrict users somehow. Users can ban authentic news easily.
Objectives of the platform are not clear yet, so they should work on it.
Interface is not user friendly because it’s not enough giving proper information to the users, so they should work on the interface first.
Need to increase the quality of the content if they want to compete with top ranked social media networks.
People do not use social Media Networks because of how they work. They use different platforms because of content, people, interests and communities they like about. People use facebook to interact with their friends and community. People use twitter because they want to see what their friends, community and favorite politicians are doing. So this can be a favorite news based platform with fresh content for those who want to stay updated with world news.
In Wikitribune app You will find an option to select your subscription plan in settings. You can stop payments to wikitribune by simply cancelling your subscription.
Idea of creating this platform is great but due to many reasons they can’t achieve their basic goals and popularity. So they need to work hard and efficiently on this platform.

No matter what business are you in, if you exist online, You need to adopt a good SEO strategy. In this article i will discuss 4 Basic Rules of SEO to make sure you start off on the right foot. Whether, you are a digital marketer or just a tech savvy business owner, these rules will help you in your SEO journey.
Patience is the key. Depending upon your niche and industry, it can take 4 to 7 months for you to rank well. Although for Pakistan, this time lesser than any of the competitive regions. But it primarily depends upon your industry. Often times, we see that all of the basic SEO tasks are complete, but there is no change in ranking. Your basic SEO checklist is all green but Google crawlers are too busy to visit your website. Just make sure that your website is crawl-able by bots and you have a proper website structure (with sitemap submitted to Google). At this point, all you need to do is relax and let Google do its job.

In addition to industry, it also depends upon what is your SEO strategy, and your digital marketing partner. Under any conditions do not go for Black hat SEO or any other shortcuts. It will not only get you penalized by Google, chances are that you’ll probably never be able to rank your same favorite brand name ever again.
As one of the moz article-heading reads “Patience is an SEO virtue”. Its an article written by Kate Morris back in 2010. You can also go ahead and read it later.
Flexibility is an important factor while executing any plan or strategy in general. Same is the case with SEO. You ought to understand that your initial plan might not work for any reason. For example, you are putting all the focus on a few ranking factors and Google launches a new Algorithm and those factors become less effective now. Or your previous SEO consultant told you that forum posting is the most important for your business but, as of today, forum posting technique has become outdated. SEO is a continuous process and not only off-page, even On-page SEO strategy needs re-evaluation from time to time.
Therefore, you need to be flexible to tweak the existing plan in response to new trends and updates by Google or other search engines. A good SEO expert always stays up to date on new Google updates.
As i often say, above Search engine optimization is a continuous process. Its essential to re-access your strategy from time to time. Although SEO has long term effects but nothing is permanent. As they say, “Top is always empty”. if you don’t keep on improving your SEO on a regular basis, someone else will definitely reverse engineer your strategy and will take your spot in SERPs. Keep optimizing and discover new link building opportunities all the time.
This one is primarily about off page SEO, and particularly about back links. However it also stands true for On page SEO as well. A general rule of thumb for Modern SEO is aim for Quality instead of quantity. Over optimizing for search engines will not do any good. Today’s search engines are smarter and can identify the difference between natural and bot-like behavior.
In SEO, being natural is important. Although you are optimizing for search engines, but your content is for humans not bots. Better user experience should be your prime focus. Similarly, for off page SEO, back-links although essential, but it is useless if you have hundreds of low authority links. Rather if you have just a few quality backlinks, that would weigh more than number of low authority spamy links.

Normally, this question arises when your business is growing. And you are looking to partner with a digital marketing firm or hire an SEO expert to get better visibility for your business online.

So, in order to make most out of SEO, you need to concentrate on crafting a custom SEO strategy for your website. You will see results, 100%. But depending upon competitiveness of your niche and region, it may take some time. For Pakistan, ranking is still easy to achieve and there is a lot of room for new comers to rank well.
