This page is for individuals who are not part of Wikinews to request an interview by the Wikinews community.

Here, you can make a short preliminary statement about who you are and on what topic you wish to be interviewed. Wikinews contributors will consider your request and contact you should they wish to conduct the interview.

Interview requests that have been published can be found at Published interview requests. Making a request on this page does not guarantee that you will be interviewed or that an article will be written and published.

If Wikinews contributors do not show an interest in following up on a request within a reasonable period of time, the request will be archived. In such cases, you are unlikely to receive a message to that effect.

  • Internet-based businesses are abundant. What is compelling about ClickFind and its business model? In other words, could you expand on the "statement" beyond the linked article? --SVTCobra 23:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brisbane Biz draws Yellow Blood and Google Gold Rush

Brisbane based Clickfind.com.au has launched a competitive attack on the established Yellow Pages Online & Microsoft’s Mylocal business models offering advertising-free directory listings that help secure top Google rankings for Australian business owners.

According to a recent AC Nielsen survey, internet shoppers are up 40% over the last two years to 875 million people worldwide, of which 85% have searched, shopped, and completed a purchase online. Taco Fleur, founder of Clickfind.com.au says, “these trends are forcing many business owners to review their directory spend, demand more web site traffic and get assistance in improving their search engine rankings on sites like Google & Yahoo which are crucial to getting sales online. Search engines like Google have hundreds of formula and criteria that decide site rankings and business owners are telling us it’s a nightmare to understand. They would rather use a simple online directory listing to ensure they improve their web site search engine rankings and sales”.

Older business directories such as D-Look, Mylocal, True Local, and Yellow Pages all offer the ability to pay per listing in their directory and most supplement their revenues with banner advertising. Fleur says, “I talk to many business owners who realise how important the internet is and pay good money to list in these in directories, only to find that a banner advertisement from a competitor is appearing right next to their listing without ever being told this may occur. They are rightly furious.”

Clickfind.com.au has ignored this model in favour of no banner ads, lower listing rates, more space for client product and service descriptions, and a specialist technical team dedicated to improving the major search engine rankings for clients. Clickfind.com.au believes this type of service and speed is key in securing the long term listing relationships that help increase client’s web traffic and deliver sales.

Since the major site launch 90 days ago Clickfind is indexing thousands of pages in Google every week and has been rushed by Australian businesses looking to list immediately.

[edit] Statement

I would like to share something that a lot of 17 years old student won't think about. A couple of weeks ago, the world are staggered by the movie 'Fitna' that considered to be an insult to a particular religion. All I want to discuss is religous tolerance is really at stake in this present time. I really want to share some viewpoints from me as a student (not from a public figure, etc.), that religious tolerance is an absolute point, although there are some communities that are turning over from the main pathway. Hopefully, every people will realize that even a student here in Indonesia (I'm a Christian living in a Muslim majority country, to be honest); that religious tolerance is an absolute value that should be preserved. A lot broader discussion shall appear in connection to this statement.
