Wikipedia has Mastered SEO
Wikipedia’s rise to fame has actually been quite impressive. comScore’s data from January 2007 puts them at number 9 for the most unique visitors, with 43 million people going to the site in January. Needless to say, one of the major traffic sources for Wikipedia is Google, but how much does the search giant send their way?
Its easy to see that Wikipedia pages are generally very SEO friendly. The old saying ‘content is king‘ is painfully obvious here, as Wikipedia pages contain a wealth of information, with the search keyword featuring prominently throughout the page. Wiki pages would also receive a huge amount of incoming links (definitions, more information links) which would also help to increase their Google ranking. Now if they would just return the links again that would help us all.
Could they have mastered the art of organic SEO? I believe clean SEO and content is the way to go! Good work Wiki!
