Hi guys

I have noticed is that I have 2 sites that have a link in wikipedia that rank decent in Yahoo.
Has anyone else experienced the same with links in wikipedia ranking better in Yahoo?

Thats interesting, perhaps yahoo is uses wikipedia as part of its algorithm somehow, just like dmoz or yahoo web directory! Who knows!

I noticed that a link from about.com have the same effect, for for google. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hi there.

There can be various other reasons as well. If you tell me 2 of your websites (one that rank well and one that does not and the keywords for tespective websites) then probably I can tell you the more valid reason.

Hello friend

I also have some sites in Wikipedia and haven't noticed any kind of difference with sites that are not included and I'm talking about same category, same layout, same linkstructure, same competitive, same of everything kind of sites, only different regions.

So, i have come to the conclusion that yahoo does not give any preference to sites linked with wikipedia.

cheers
