Wikipedia Needs Money Here’s How
April 10th, 2008
Thinking Out Loud
According to a story in the Los Angeles Times the free Wikipedia online encyclopedia needs more money. All they need to do is add a little button or form so anyone can make a donation. Problem solved.
Yea I know there is a link, I had to look on their site for a couple minutes to find it. Guys, do you think you could make a nice looking colored button?
Being the number 8 site for traffic for all USA sites they get a huge amount of traffic. People love Wikipedia and many would be happy to make a donation. Even if 10% of their visitors only donate $1.00 they will make millions.
The people at Wikipedia want to keep the site free and free of advertising. I can respect that. I just hope someone convinces them to add a simple easy to find donate button on every page.

that surprises me, really, since so many people visit. Maybe banners seem a little much, but maybe something not too dramatic, like the little banner that goes across the top of my blog from MaxBlogPress.
Have you ever tried making a donate to Wikipedia, or Support Wikipedia button people could put on their websites and blogs? I would put one here in a second. I bet a lot of other people would too.
