AboutUs.org
AboutUs is a wiki directory for Internet domains. AboutUs lists domains and information about their content. If someones searches for information regarding a domain which is not already listed on AboutUs, then the website creates an automatic page of that domain with information that it manages to gather automatically. Owners of a domain can create an account and edit the page if it lacks or does not offer correct information. If the page is edited correctly, AboutUs rewards their efforts with a do-follow link to their website after it has been reviewed. Currently, AboutUs is a Page Rank 6 website.
AboutUs describes themselves as being "a wiki for and about businesses, organizations, blogs, forums, and really anything or anyone that has a website.".
