I've just added one of my websites to wikipedia. Its a site thats basicly made from information from wikipedia, and other info from other sites (aswell as books etc). it's a very small site, with 12 pages indexed, and has the max amount of adsense possible. -- I'll see how long that lasts on wikipedia Cheers. p.s if there is no "exteral links" section on your page you want to add somthing to, use this: ===External Links=== * [[url]http://example.com/link_1[/url] [b]The Link Text[/b]] Code (markup):
I've managed to get 3-4 links on wikipedia in various sections. The key seems to be to contribute content/pages then add your links. I get both relavent links and a fair bit of traffic from them edit: I should add, for every link I got on \I probabl had 3 or so removed, its just a case of hoping and putting them where they are actually useful.
That's all you can really do with Wikipedia for links, and even sometimes your info/links will get deleted for random reasons... no matter how valid It's horrible how sometimes they keep your contribution but delete the source link...
anyone can edit these pages.. Anyone in the entire world.. I am guessing that could be a big reason why things get deleted. setup a users page. That hardly ever gets modified or deleted by the admin moderators.
I added 5-6 links to wikipedia, all of them for a niche topic. All have stayed for 3+ months. I've received 533 uniques this month alone from adding my site to wikipedia.
Looks like wikipedia is cleaning up many external links. I'v lost 50-100 visitors today... I guess one should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:EL carefully. So your links is correct.
yes, i lost one of my links the other day -- wikipedia was the sole source of traffic to that website, so i've gone down from 200 uniques to just 6-10 a day. very sad. OK, the site is very "MFA" -- but it does have a lot of info. I'll post it again later in the month i think. Maybe it will get through this time.
