3 Facts About Building Wikipedia Backlinks

What is the first thing that comes to mind after listening the word ”Wikipedia”? If someone will ask me  I’ll say Wikipedia is the only site who helped me in completing my school work and projects. Not only this, it also has answers to every question. It is the best encyclopedia on the internet.


And the second thing I love about Wikipedia is the fact that you can edit their pages sitting anywhere in the world. And after knowing that it is one of the most authoritative sites on the internet everyone definitely wants to create a backlink from wiki. Infact, this is the perfect place  to build high quality links.

But it is not that easy to do. Wikipedia only approves the changes  when they are useful and add value to the content.

Today I’m going to tell some facts about Wikipedia backlinks which you need to know.

Benefits of Wikipedia Backlinks

Facebook, YouTube and Moz are the good authoritative sites but not more than Wikipedia, it is right up in the list.

Everyone trust and use the content of Wikipedia, that's why it is one of Google’s most trusted site. So, yes it is great to build links to boost the presence of your site on the web. Many people search their queries on Wikipedia and you can attract that traffic on your blog. It will work fantastically for your webpage.

Wikipedia gives no follow links not do follow, but it has such a super high Domain authority, trust flow and citation flow that it affects your rank positively.

And who said that the nofollow links are not effective? Nofollow links have their own sort of SEO value that’s worth adding to your backlink profile.

Have High quality Content

Before creating a link from Wikipedia, make sure you have something worth linking to. Always remember that Wikipedia checks the changes you make to their content. Always try to make your content valuable, because once your content get rejected they will keep a record of your profile and may keep rejecting your future edits too.

Monitor your backlinks too? Well, it’s also important to monitor your backlinks because Wikipedia admins will review before approving your changes. Once you make a change to their content, it takes them 24 hours to either approve or decline the changes.

Improve a Wikipedia Page

Wikipedia allows you adding or changing the link only to improve it. If the aim in your mind is simply to create a backlink on Wikipedia for the sake of SEO, you’re missing the point.

Wikipedia is so strict? Yes, just for now, I want you to forget about SEO and change your mindset about what you’re going to do? You’re going to add value to one of the most visited websites on the web. This comes with a lot of responsibility and that’s why Wikipedia is so strict.
