SEJ On Wikipedia And SEO
Wikipedia significantly influences SEO by providing authoritative backlinks and driving traffic through high-ranking, credible content. Its visibility on search engines makes it a valuable tool for enhancing online reputation and discoverability.
Search Engine Journal contributor Matt G. Southern has published an article on Wikipedia and SEO.
She says, “We will also explore how to add insights from Wikipedia into your SEO strategy without breaking its terms of use.
Wikipedia Guidelines & SEO
Wikipedia has strict rules about what content it allows.
These rules include being notable, maintaining a neutral point of view, being verifiable, and using reliable sources.
Following these rules is essential; otherwise, your content may be removed, and your account could be banned.
Many people mistakenly believe that creating a Wikipedia page for their business or adding links to their website will improve their search engine rankings.
However, Wikipedia doesn’t allow entries made for advertising purposes. Also, all external links are labeled as “nofollow,” which means they don’t help with SEO.”
