    long ago they did, but since nofollow, is it count for any influence in search rankings

    Definitely yes. Not counted in PR directly but if you have links in WP articles for a long period your site authority is going up.

    Irrelevant of do/nofollow, it's still an authority link that's worth having if you can get it.

    Yes, Wiki can be a valuable link. Any source that has a value of that level is worth pursuing.

    Not to mention the fact that you want nofollow links in your backlink profile anyway- an entirely dofollow portfolio is not natural.

    Links from Wikipedia are no follow in nature. It will not be counted for your ranking. But if you can manage that, you can get very much targeted and direct traffic.

    They are good for SEO despite being nofollow. Besides this, you'll get direct traffic as well.

    I think we all give some value to information in Wikipedia. It comes up number one for most every search. So I would assume Google gives value to them as well. Just because they are nofollow, does not mean Google doesn't pass juice in its formula. No one really knows if it does or not. Only Google does.

    Agree with Eugeanne! I can have great impact to your traffic. Just think how you use wikipedia and you can see if it's useless or not.

    Another follow/nofollow thread :rolleyes:
    I have improved my keywords mostly from nofollow links during years, ask all penguin affected people what happened with all their dofollow/anchored ones.
    Anyway rules changed, I dont think anymore on link juice, pyramids, private networks, thats very old stuff and we all know old things usually doesnt work.
