Hi, Can anyone tell me whether one can link to wikipedia and if yes, then is there any way that i can do it? I did not see any link to submit the url
Linking to Wikipedia would be putting this on your page <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_page">Wikipedia</a>. If you want to spam Wikipedia with links to your site, don't do it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with information about subjects, it is not a web directory. In any case, all outbound links are rel="nofollow" so why bother?
Yes you can add links to articles if it supports it. Be prepared to fight other editors though who take over pages. It is a good way to build traffic, but as Exam said the nofollow tag is now active on links.
Wiki has "nofollow" tags now ..so it wont be a link back to your site ..but it will certainly get u loads of visitors if the site content is related
i put a link on wikipedia to my site about 2 weeks ago..doesnt get the traffic you guys are talking about and the content it's related
If your site really ads value, then add the link and see if it stays. If you're just spamming wikipedia, please don't.
Hello, I put a revelant link on the Wiki last month; so far this brought me some good traffic. Cheers ! Thibaut
I added one today and got a lot of traffic from it, both in guests and spiders. I did not notice an increase in google spiders, but there was a noticible difference in Yahoo spiders and I got my first AskJeeves spider.
Wikipedia links are amazing, I currently get about 50% wikipedia traffic on one of my sites because most of my links are intact. If you got the right niche, the editors sometimes don't even bother with it since they don't know much about it.
they do have a nofollow tag but you'll definitely gain traffic if your link will be at there site...if your planning to do it try to create an article about a subject related to your site on wikipedia that will definitely help others and not because you just want your site to be there....and warning there are a lot of authors seeking for the same thing so there's a possibility that your article with your link will be out of there in no time...
links from wikipedia has no value for seo or serp result. if you want to give link to wikipedia , you can give as normal links
