    Hi,

    Today I've tried to add a link to a wiki-page (now almost 12 hours ago). The link is still there, I was wondering how long it would take until I can say for sure that the link stays there.

    Depends on how popular the topic is to be honest.

    12 hours is not enough. Wait for a few more days and see what happens :)

    It will never be 100% safe. Somebody could remove it at any time, even a year from now.

    billybw is right! 2 years later the competition decided to add their link to Wiki and removed some of my links :mad:

    Yes, Wiki has told me that I have to submit my URL to DMOZ before I can add it to the MD5 article which is aggravating but worth it in the end I suppose.

    I found the wiki links completely useless anyway so I won't bother submitting anymore.
    No traffic, no SEO value, hard approval = waste of time.

    Gets you so much traffic, really depends how busy the Wiki article is!
