Default Link on wikipedia

Hello,

How valuable do you think it is to have a link on wikipedia as they have just put an external link to my site on their page which is a pr5.

Best regards

It's valuable by itself + sites that use wikipedia content like answers.com will index & list it as well, so that's multiple links eventually... -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

That's a how-to by the way, wikipedia policy states that you may not use it as a vehicle to promote commercial businesses and websites. A good tip is to actually create a page with useful content & link to the particular page from wikipedia. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

Wikipedia is an excellt resource for some people.

Luckily it is well monitored by these people to stop link spammers doing what Brett just mentioned in the previous post. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Well I guess if you become one of their allowed links your site can get good traffic from them, since a lot of people consult with wikipedia, even for the craziest reasons to look up something, wikipedia is still used. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
