how to get in wikipedia?

It seem to wikipedia is a good place to promote .but how to get in? anyone have experience to get in ? or get in at external link section?

 

What site are you trying to get in?

 

They use nofollow on all of their links so don't expect to get a great deal of value from a link there.

As far as using it simply as a promotional tool. You have to pick an article that is very specific to your site, then have something very targeted to the subject on the target page of your domain. I have several dozen wiki links for various topics.

 

Create something that is worth to put in Wiki, you will be there. Wiki is useless for spammers, as mentioned before.

 

my Dad site is PR3 just from wiki links lol there goes the nofollow theory :S

 

You must be the only person.

 

The nofollow theory is correct, although it may change once they have a spam resistant system.

could you tell me what is nofollow?

 

my site is martialguy.com

 

Post good content, and you should get it up there.

 

the search engine crawlers are not following the links on wikipedia

 

do you mean their pr does not contribute to my site if link to my site.

 

Yes, not affects pr or serp.

 

It is near on impossible to get your link on wikipedia unless it is totally related to the article you are posting on. There are people who spend a lot of their time editing the wikipedia site and they hate spam, so if there is a link usually they get rid of it.

I managed to get a link to stay on wikipedia, i posted a link to my photography site on a soccer teams page. My link said something like 'See Photos of this team in action'

Hmmm Wikipedia .. SEOMoz's article is good but I wrote a much more extensive article on Wikipedia a while back that might be helpful. Check it out if you wanna

 

I have about 3 dozen links (no lie) on Wikipedia. Just make sure that the links you're submitting have a lot of good content or other features that are expansive and different.

 

Thats a very long and great way to waste time. It is so damn easy to get almost permanent links on wiki without doing any of that. There are a ton of pages which aren't watched by any editors.

 

You maybe right...I was posting a link to an article that was posted today. The original question wasn't very specific and Rand (from SEOMoz) is a pretty trusted source in the SEO world, so I thought I would pass the information along.

Plus it says in the article:

I would think that your statement is valid, but much more dependant on what subject alvalong is trying to get into the wiki.

jabb thank you for putting my post in perspective for the original question...

 

70% of the traffic for one of my sites comes from wikipedia, so even if in SEO terms it is worthless, it can still be great for traffic.
