Internal Wikipedia Link Popularity & SEO
Dominic posted on DP about flowing Wikipedia PageRank internally to pages where you are mentioned.
Search wikipedia in goog for a mention of your keyword / phrase. Edit those wikipedia pages to link to the lovely wiki page that links to your page.
And, of course, if you can’t get your stuff linked to then a few additional options are:
* point Wikipedia pages to other pages that link at you
* add links to your Wikipedia profile page (and link to your profile page by commenting on a couple high profile controvercial subjects)
* add links with questions to talk pages for controvercial subjects.
Some people may also point Digital Point coop weight or other external links at the pages linking to them to help build up their citation value.

Of course you wouldn’t be advocating unethical practices, right Aaron? Just reporting on what you’ve read. I had a few comments about that thread too, posted them on my blog http://www.petertdavis.net/185-how-to-sabotage-the-competition-in-wikipedia/

All of the above practices are (a) unethical and (b) prohibited by Wikipedia’s terms of use. Anyone we catch doing this will almost certainly be banned from editing Wikipedia.
