Wikipedia and advertising

Daaaang. For those of you who don't do it, you need too. I just started this blog a few hours ago and put the link to it in some wikipedia articles with similar content and I'm up to 40 views, and their actually viewing my content.

Not big articles either.

 

u r lucky to go through wikipedia. 90% of time they remove content.

 

Which blog?
And the links from wiki will be removed as soon as a moderator sees them.

 

Yep, they will definitely not last long. Hope you are monetizing your traffic while it lasts.

 

My blog is: www dot kimboslice dot wordpress dot com (only posting cause you asked)
Are you sure it'll get removed? I'm up to 50 views just for a few hours.

 

seeing your blog i am pretty sure that it will be removed, no offense though.
Wikipedia just outlink to trustworthy sources.

 

Thats good, but don't be surprised if it is removed before the weeks out.

 

I was having a article of my website on wiki.......for 1 month and more, finally they removed it....

 

Well they removed it on one, but that was only because the article had almost nothing to do with my site :-P

I have my link up on four other articles, and I have gotten 150 views overnight

 

My best results with wikipedia were for a page I created with some original research. I drew out some statistics from a big, freely available database, made some conclusions, and cited that in several very related wikipedia pages. Been there almost a year, thousands of page views ... about 1900 so far this month.

Wikipedia does not tolerate spam. Some moderators won't even tolerate links to quality pages. Just the way it is. Several of my links that are very suitable according to the guidelines are taken out as soon as they are put in.

 

I'm going to have to try this with a site I'm working on. Who knows they might actually keep the link (it's not a blog).

 

Not effective for catching visitors for long time. Consider for short term.

 

I'm surprised it took a month for some links to be removed. It usually takes no more than 3, maybe 4 days.

 

I posted a link to an advertising page once, mainly because the article was marked as unreferenced (also the traffic would be nice too). Because it was in as a reference it stayed up for about two weeks. Now the article is marked as unreferenced again.

I've linked to articles, but they are researched, and they have not been taken down. Traffic isn't great, though.

 

in general wikipedia moderators if they find external links to sites with advertising
they will remove the link.

 

if you have a reputable site, and others ad your links to wiki, they tend to stay.

I have a site that has about 5 links from wiki, only providing a small amount of traffic a day, but they have remained for some time now.

 

I have had links up on wikipedia for a few months now with no removing. I run a magazine that has become a pretty reputable source and made a wikipedia page for the magazine so they keep up everything as long as you do it right and dont just make it look like flat out advertising

 

the longest i'v had one stay up is for 1 week

 

Yep, it will probably get removed. They don't like advertising

 

Will they delete links to sites providing quality free stuff that happens to have a small for profit link?
