How come wikipedia gets a top google result on pretty much anything?
 

Is google picking favourites?
How does wikipedia do it exactly?

forgive me I don't know much about SEs :(

how many times have you seen links to wikipedia in message boards, blogs, websites of all varieties?

I'd say that all of those non-recips would hold quite a bit of weight along with the relevance.. I'm sure there are numerous other reasons - but those would bode well with google IMO.

they usually have the most relevant content for any query. those editors are fucking anal about link spamming too.

google likes big authority sites.

49M backlinks. 61M unique pages.

a *LOT* of those backlinks are from wikipedia.org pages, but i cant figure a way to filter them out.. the TSV export only exports that page.. not the whole result set.

The real truth is that wikipedia met google at a show once and shook his hand. Now they both consider each other top notch guys and send their traffic to one another.

Google has always favored large, original content authority sites such as Wikipedia. Couple that with the enormous amount of backlinks and its bound to get top listings really easily.
