Links in Wikipedia - Helpful in Page Rank?
As you may know, Wikipedia has a PageRank of 8 which is really high. Many people is hoping to get a link from a high PR site, as it has positive effect on a site's PR for getting such link. Since Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that allows every one to edit it, many webmasters have a habit or eager to try to post their links in the relevant topics in wikipedia.
However, is it really useful, no matter in terms of getting a higher PR, or getting a better crawling by search engines' spieders, to post links in Wikipedia?
The answer is NO. Pretty bad, right? It is because all the external links in Wikipedia has "No Follow" attribute. That mean Google's spider will not follow the link and enter the site of yours. Apart from that, the editors from Wikiepdia will also delete the links you posted, due to self-promotion reason.
As a result, don't waste your time to paste your link in the Wikipedia now, since it is pointless to do so. Spend your time properly on the web directories (Some directories can also have a high PR as well.)

Hey,
Great tip, but what about social bookmarking sites, blog and group? search engines will follow each link there or not?
Thanks in advance,
Odeh
Hi Odeh,
Those sites you mentioned will be helpful in drive traffic from referral and search engines, but has very limited effect in raising PR.
Wiki-pedia links have no follow attribute! which means the search engine crawlers will not follow those links and no pr will not increase from wiki pedia links!
but then you can get a few hits from wiki-pedia, most social bookmarking websites have no-follow on all links!
Hi uttoransen,
That's what I am talking about. But unfortunately, your link will be removed by Wikipedia very soon. So, it is not a long-term and cost-effective way to drive traffic.
No you did not get me! i mean links in wikipedia has a no-follow attribute! it is something like this!
http://www.dagsensecodes.com/ rel=nofollow
this code of rel=nofollow means that the links on wikipedia will not be followed by any crawlers or search bots!
your links will be live and active, but the "no follow" attribute on the links will prevent it from search bots!
regards,
uttoransen!
