TIA

    • Wiki Links is helpful to get rank better your keyword,it doesn't increase your page rank.

    This is an important method to increase keyword ranking in search engines.
  • Those links are nofollow. Why would you want such links?

    Note how the two "yeah it works" comments above mine are from a SEO swindler and a signature spammer. If you're going to post crap content to a site at least make sure that it actually works for your purposes. Don't be like these two morons.

    Wikipedia tends to be very selective, and there might not be any real reason for them to publish or not publish a page. So the links are not helping you in any way, but you might not even get a page up even if it was for a legitimate topic.

    If you're talking about Wiki links in general - yeah, they may work depending on the site. Wiki is a type of site and a type of CMS, not a shorthand for Wikipedia.

  • Wikipedia is a high authority website. even if the link from Wikipedia is nofollow, it helps alot in SEO. if your website is linked from wikipedia, google sees it as an autority.

    So no matter what people say, if you can get a link from wikipedia, go for it.

    • No, they do not. There's a weird notion of "authority" that some people believe in, and others try to push for profit (like this guy here). Authority is more or less the same as high PR. You get a bunch of good "followed" links, and your site seems like an authority from Google's point of view. It's not more complicated than that.

      You can always ask these guys to explain their stuff, and they never can. It's not based on any real information, just wishful thinking or unethical sales tactics.

      Why would it increase keyword rankings? Because you say so? Explain your claim.

      And no, WikiPEDIA is not a good traffic source in most cases. Very few users click the links because the articles are intended to have enough information.

    It is obvios to see that Wiki is an good online traffic source because It has millions of unique visitors a day but it’s not as easy as it sounds.

    • No, it's not. You're not reading any comments, are you? It's explained above. If you have no idea what you're talking about you should stop posting nonsense and start reading the threads.
  • When i was tried to find the dead links on wiki page and added some my site links after two or three days the links has been removed.
  • It is effective but you do not able for approval you created post in wikkipedia until you have the reputed resource link to attached with.

  • I would imagine that links from WikiPedia would be nofollow links. I do however think those nofollow links would help your seo.

    • What's your excuse? You just want to increase your post count?

      It's refreshing to see someone flat out admit that they just believe for no good reason.
  • Wiki links are very effective to get your website rank

    • You don't read much, do you?

      They're not useful for SEO as they have the 'nofollow' tag.

      • [1] reply
  • This is the best way to improve your high authority backlinks to your web site.
  • Wiki pedia link is fruitful but creating link on it is so hard.
  • Yes we get nofollow links from Wikipedia but still they have worth and considered by Google as far as i think.

  • matt cutts on no follow on wikipedia

    It's a bit old but I've seen nothing to contradict it.

    From my own experience Wikipedia is a great way to get human traffic to authority sites and even for selling kindle books.
    • [1] reply
    • Matt Cutts works for Google. His loyalties lie with Google. His job is in the web spam department trying to stop people from gaining rank by doing anything other than making a great site and letting it organically rank dependent on its value.

      So it stands to reason that some of what he tells people might not be 100% correct. If he was to say that nofollow links from Wikipedia help a slight bit, you can bet your ass that half of the interweb would become Wiki editors the next day

    • That's what I thought. Your method works in mysterious ways, and you don't even want to justify how it could work. I get this from a lot of link sellers.

      If I were in your boots I wouldn't play "facts" card in a discussion such as this. Did you really think I would not call your bluff?

      Following the potential flow of Google juice is not exactly that hard. If you're going to just point to the front page and claim the backlinks are strong because of it you've already failed. The link would not be worth your asking price even if it was "followed".

  • They can be helpful, but point is how to use it for proper link building without getting your content being deleted.
  • Wiki links are good for SEO, Because i found usually they remove junk links
    • [1] reply
    • That's a non sequitur. The first half of your comment has nothing to do with the latter part. Keeping a site clean from spam doesn't mean that the links are effective. Nofollow links mean that Wikipedia has essentially asked Google do not count those links.

  • Hey,
    I don't think it is useful because wiki links are no follow and they don't provide link juice .
  • If a Wikipedia editor realizes that a company representative made an edit, there is a good chance this will get deleted because the site wants everything to remain neutral. However, you can bypass this by getting involved in the Wikipedia community

  • you need to updates proper and unique article links otherwise wiki has been removed your links.

  • I think this discussion is going way beyond the topic, can we move back to the original place.
    • [2] replies
    • Why?

      It's done, you have your answers. Act on the one(s) you think work. Or test a few/all of them and go with what your results tell you.

    • You mean like starting the same cycle of pointless back and forth yet again?

      If you're not happy with the result of this discussion, going through it again doesn't change the reality even if it somehow ended on a different note.
  • Currently WikiPedia links are nofollow and this will not give you link juice to your website. But it will help to increase daily visitors on your website.
    • [1] reply
    • This is possible, but fairly unlikely in most cases. If your site is one of the references why would people click it open? Wikipedia articles tend to explain the topic. You may get some "visitors" from all the wikipedia grabbers...
  • ranking algorithm is the combination of many factor. Nofollow link is must to make it natural link building.
    But what if the nofollow are from wiki especial wikipedia. This will increase DA in long run.

  • Wikipedia backlinks

    Scalable.

    White hat.

    Powerful.

    I'm not saying this,Brian dean Says this
    • [1] reply
    • Lets hear the argument for that.

      Citation needed even for the Brian Dean quote. That's the front page of his twitter feed, and there's nothing about Wikipedia on that page.

      Backlinko isn't always 100% correct. For example, they run that "200 ranking factors of Google" BS from time to time.
