How to get a link from en.wikipedia.org ?

it's possible that you can do everything correctly and your additions will still be reverted, that's true. but if you follow the advice in this thread the chances of that happen drop significantly.

 

Yeah, just found out that my link got taken down. When they edited my content out, they were commented that the ref was most likely a pr spam. * sad face *

 

it looks like they're going after anyone that mentioned their sites in my blog or on digitalpoint-- seen quite a few discussions about it on wikipedia lately

 

Could be the reason that almost no one exposes ACTUAL IDEAS that work on webmaster forums

 

there's nothing wrong with revealing ideas that work. the only thing here that's been proven to be a bad idea is revealing what specific questions that may be questionable for a specific site you're using. as long as you don't reveal the site you're pretty much fine.

not much point in webmaster forums if no one's willing to share information that helps.

 

Heh i see many people adding links to wiki on irrelevant pages in different languages. Assuming no editor of wikipedia will see it in a while since the language is not so popular with wiki.... that sucks.

 

the links on foreign wikipedia pages is an interesting idea but not many people realize most (all?) of the non-english wikipedia sections use nofollow.

 

HA HA

I have never seen such bull than on wikipedia. I have www.freeredboxcodes.com and came across the wiki on redbox. I see there are links and added mine. THey would stay for weeks and then all the links woul dbe gone except for one leading me to believe that the owner of that site was deleting the others.

I wasnt evening spaming and my site was relevant to the lsiting talking about the free codes. I would add it and same thing like5 times.

They have this mediation that you can goto for problems like this where you can ask to freeze the listing and not let changes happen. The whole process takes forever and if you arent familiar with using wiki pain in the butt.

I wait a month for a reply and then i find repsonse that case was closed even though I emailed everyone I could from the mediation to get this resolved.

I gave up, months later I see they totally redid the listing and added quite a bit more of info. So i put my links in the new external links only to have it removed. I do mediation again.THis time they look at the case and they tell me they have this whole process where they only need one example and blah blah and they look at the site and determine if it is of value and quality and then they count the ads and everything else they can.

I started the site to offer free codes and not to make money so i offer them to remove EVERY ad, the CTR was 0 lol, and a guy replies saying I am polluting the net with my junk sites and pulls stats off my server from dns check about how many sites i own. I replied to him, asking who made you the internet content police.

So, if you want a link create a catagory not listed. I do see that certain companies with explicit sales pitches. I dont remember the compaines, i wish i did, but i was in shock that basically it was a complet ad talking about there product and they had no problem with that. I wonder if my blogjacking listing is still there.

 

ask them for a link exchange

 

Yes... that one is funny

asking a link from their homepage will be a nice idea... I believe
