    They don't need to do seo work, everyone is linking to them, just try the query link:www.wikipedia.org , that's impressive!

    It may be probably as Wikipedia has more information on any topic that is searched. May be it is also keyword rich for Google to consider it as top.

    I think Google has given some importance to Wikipedia. But wikipedia is great.

    They have established Authority that is the reason they rank very high. Also they have very high Internal linking.

    Wikipedia has the reputation and authority already. Most webmasters would even contribute to the site's fame by referencing articles in wiki.

    i think a blog owned by one person hardly can be so popular as wiki, because there is not only informative site, people can study through wiki, and we all know that there is a site where we can find information about everything, this can't be reached by one person...

    i think if wikipedia and google merged, they could start a new country, go to war against USA and win with no casualties

    The reason why Wikipedia comes on top of search results is because it is the most visited and used knowledge portal.

    just goes to show you that you obviously don't NEED all those Social bookmarkings, forum posted links and blog commented links. Can they help?? sure they can...but the best links are those natural, in content, merit based links that google loves. You know the best way to get those? Offer quality information just as Wikipedia has and people will link to it on their own.

    I just overtook the number 1 position from Wikipedia (which held #1 and #2), but my site is filled with unique content that is Accurate and useful. It is also a keyword pointing at my homepage, rather than an internal page (like the one from wikipedia that I overtook). Also, it is not just wikipedia. Look around, make some searches.... you will see more than just wikipedia consistently at the top such as About.Com, and a few others.

    To Sum it all up... I would much rather have 5 qualit, in context, merit based backlinks to my site.... than have 500-1000 crappy backlinks from directorie, forums, and blog comments.

    Damn u all... :p

    Google search results depend on Pagerank of the web pages

    if wikipedia has highest pagerank in particular search result,then it is displayed first and not just like wiki is biggest site and all :(

    They have the most articles and editors out there with massive keywords and adsword. It's a nice site to find out more just about anything.

    Wikipedia have tons of quality content, and therefore they are getting tons of natural backlink
    This is the reason they have good SERP for many keyword
