Just a add-on. If you have written some good and valuable content about related topics, wikipedia is definitely a good place to add a link to your article. I have some good articles that is linked from wikipedia and is getting some good referring traffic from wikipedia almost everyday.

Blogers cite them but the editors are also the biggest link mongers on the net. Put two words together that happen to be on Wikipedia and you get the editor of the page hounding you for the link back. Stick it in their bum and cite them in text not a href! The Google algo universal search has bumped trust or something because no site goes from nowhere in the “search engine optimization” keywords to first just because a bunch of bloggers link to them from pages with little or no juice. It’s a handjob or there’s a piece of code that says “Put Wikipedia result here”,no other way to do that strictly with IBL’s or it would have showed up in that SERP quite some time ago.

Secondly, the history on that WIKI page is a joke it was obviously written by some 3G “Rand’s cult of mediocre uninformed SEO” follower. Basically you’d think there were no SE’s before Google!

Jon, awesome advice! As many of us know building inbound links is really critical to your search optimization strategy. As Jon pointed out he didn’t link to a site because of the pop ups, and other crazy stuff on the site. It might have been a great resource, but carried some stigma with it. THAT should be lesson to everyone. If you want to get those inbound links don’t add this stuff to your site because as Jon pointed out it could mean the difference between an inbound link and not getting it.

It’s a cycle, I think. Bloggers Google a term or person or event, etc. and because they rank so high for so many phrases, they’re clicked on more, which leads to more links and more ranking, etc.

What’s the tipping point? I wonder. That is, how big does your network have to be before it starts skyrocketing? I’d love to see some graphs of Wikipedia traffic over time.

On the other hand, their site *is* set-up really well. That got the ball rolling. I think at a certain point, though, the math went crazy and now they’re everywhere.

In any case, great post.
