I just linked my site from Wikipedia
 

I'm so PROUD of myself. :1orglaugh

you got so excited you felt the urge to open a thread on it?

anyways, congratulations, I guess :1orglaugh

It may not last

I put an entry on my high school page as a notable graduate and they deleted it the next day. I wonder who polices that stuff.

I'm sure if it is legit it would have probably lasted. I think I said that I was an internet smut peddler so they probably flag that stuff.

Hey, I'm bored today. I just checked to see if it was still up from the other day and it was.

everyone polices it, it is a user moderated system.... there are people that care about certain topics and come by every day and clean things up, there are many others that just look through as many changes as they can to clean up spam

just bugging you, no big deal....

wikipedia is nofollow of course, so there is no pr passed,

and traffic for most pages that you would probably have any luck of staying on is usually minimal, unless you are an extraordinarily worthy site

My site is a fetish site so I just posted in 'external links' that this was a site catering to the fetish. It's relevant though if it stays up I'd be pleasantly surprised.

interesting..

I've had links stay up for months and the minute I put them out of my mind some hater came along and deleted them just replace them with another URL, ha ha.

If you monitor it closely you can go into the edit record and if everything is relevant and on the up and up you can usually reverse the edit that deleted your URL, but it's a pain. I haven't found the traffic from wikipedia to be worth the effort. Just my 2 cents.

agree with you on that

links always get deleted

:1orglaugh sounds like a person that could be found on gfy

theres no point. it will most likely be deleted and even if it survives... it is a nofollow link that provides zero SE juice....

That pretty much sums up all the mods I've ever known on Wikipedia.... you see, I wouldn't be in adult if it wasn't for them - ended up looking for a new hobby! Best thing that ever happened. :2 cents:

You will be rich beyond your wildest dreams within 48 hours!

There's no point putting your link up there, all links have the "nofollow" tag. Won't be count as a backlink.

Sorry, better luck next time.

it gets deleted eventually ... the moderators have a lot to do so it may stay up for up-to-a-week or so ...

i wont try it then

having few of my sites listed as external links on wikipedia for high paying generic keywords (pharmaceutical mostly).. Even with wikipedia in the first results, the amount of traffic is negligeable.

People know when clicking on wikipedia's link what they'll get. So very few of them after getting the info they want (because wikipedia is quite a complete resource) pursues their learnings by going to an external source of info.

but hey, I don't know what Im talking about..

I messed with Wiki a while back...

Did a nice info page with links to articles about PK.com and information about books and newspaper write ups.

Was fine until some hater decided "It was of no significant or notable value". Glad my bank accounts don't reflect that statement.
