Wikipedia Links Part 1
Oh wow, I can’t believe it’s my 100th post already. Be sure to give me some kudos in the comments (haha I figure I’m allowed to fish for compliments every 100 posts or so). Well I can’t think of a better way to start the triple digits than by starting the first part of a four part tutorial on getting tons of links from Wikipedia. If PR is your concern please quit paying money for PR6’s, Wikipedia is full of them and waiting for you to post your link.
Lets begin with the White hat method since it is the simplest and will create the least amount of problems for you later on. It’s a little more manual labor intensive than the rest, but fuck it, it’s easy and worth it.
Methodology
1) Make a list of all your top terms. For instance if I were promoting Blue Hat SEO I’d make a list with something to the effect of: Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing, Link Building, Website Promotion, SEO Tools, Black Hat, and White Hat.
** **2) Create a small article section of your site. Write 2-4 articles for each keyword and put them in the terms section. So my site might be organized like this.
Search Engine Optimization
|-Article 1
|-Article 2
|_Article 3
Link Building
|-Article 1
|-Article 2
|_Article 3
** **You get the idea. Then just make sure each article only contains links back to your site or other pages on your site. However you want to distribute the new found linking power.
3) Go to Wikipedia.org and do a search for each one of your terms. Try to find the PR6 and above sections that directly use your terms. There may be anywhere from 1-15 for each one of your major terms. So dig deep.
** **4) Click on the Edit This Page tab. Go to the portion that says
==External links==
and add your link using the following code:
- [http://www.example.com Anchor Tag] A collection of free articles.
** **Let the link hunt begin! This is particularly useful for Ecom sites that sell tons of different types of products. Once the articles are up it only takes a couple hours to gain a good 50 or so one way PR6 links. I’ve had one site of mine gain over 150 PR6 links and 72 PR5 links this way. It took a little bit of work, but its not spammy and your links are almost guaranteed to stick.
If the article creation is going to be a problem just be an asshole Look at the other related links listed. Steal some of their noncopyrighted articles and replace their link with yours. Chances are no one will even notice the change. Ouch I just caused a problem didn’t I?

You are aware of the fact that Wikipedia uses ref=nofollow on links, aren’t you?
So how do you think these links are going to pass PR to your sites?
robb, yep i supose. this is just the simple white hat way. Don’t look too much into it. It’s merely stuff that had to get said before we could move on. If it was advanced I would of made it a blue hat technique. Chris,
Thanks man, you should post your blog sometime on here. So we can read it too. me(not really me),
On external links Wikipedia DOES NOT use rel=nofollow. I’m sorry but that is just dead wrong.
Here’s a typical external link section from wiki External links

Wow, that’s weird … the German version of Wikipedia does!
Take a look at: (The last paragraph “Web Links” contains a link with a nofollow.) I don’t get it … Well, however - you are absolutely right about the english version.
Thanks for the response, Chris. All my sites are extremely niche so I’m lucky they have one page.
You must have something a bit more mainstream… BTW, good posts
en.wikipedia does not have no-follow. I am linked a few places in wikipedia. And I have to say its easy except with a few key notes:
First, your links have to contribute to the article, If you just post a link on another article, your link needs to be a “true” reference to that article and you should probably add something to the wikipedia article to make it more relevent.
Second. Wikipedia sometimes is strictly moderated. You must watch out what you do and stick with wikipedia rules, otherwise your link will not last, and even worse you risk being banned {ip ban too}.
So be careful. I recommend you legitimently contribute to wikipedia and reference your article. That works well. Write your own article also with a sightly different title to another one, that works wonders!
Heya Seostomp,
Welcome to the blue hat home
I love your blog although i’m mentioned way too much in it haha. Good sense of humor though and drunkin blogging definitely rules all. lol
I would absolutely LOVE IT if you wrote a quick tutorial on the yahoo bookmark trick for bluehatseo, cus it is a damn good trick. Eitherway i’d love to hear more about it.
To Rett:
Try using the “what links here”. Btw, when you click “what links here” on wikipedia, what sorting do they use?
It’s obvious the articles at the top are the most popular, I’m just not sure exactly which way they are. I’ve also noticed that you can post a keyword related link to wikipedia articles that are the least popular, yet they still have a pr > 0. Eventually after some months someone will catch the unrelated link.
Welcome to NO FOLLOW on English Wikipedia, folks. As of this weekend. Stop trying to do battle with Wikipedia, when you can LITERALLY get better Google results with Centiare.com. (We surmise it’s because we’re using semantic tagging, and Google loves that.) Don’t believe? Read this:
You’ll begin to believe.
Gregory, I see no evidence that your site helps google rankings. Except the obscure examples on your site like:
“West Chester church shepherd”?????? Your own site “centiare.com” is not ranked in the top 5 pages on google(that’s as far as i checked) for free directory, directory, or free encyclopedia. Also Wiki is ranked #1 in google for “Search Engine Optimization”. Can you give some better examples of results from using your site?
Thanks,
MarkJ.
P.S. Great site Eli! I’ve been lurking for about 3 days and using some of your tips I’ve got a free PR4 link to my site and a PR6 listing on Wiki. You Da Man!!!
So let me get this write. does anyone know if the wiki links still work? Is it worth posting articals and links for wiki. Please let me know and any examples are most welcome
Samuel
