By the way, I have run across various articles before on DoshDosh.com and I have absolutely loved every single one. A special thanks to DoshDosh for all the great information you have provided me!

So it is DoshDosh that has the credits for this information. Here are some of the coolest points from the article I liked:

First of all, we point out the importance of being listed on Wikipedia. Targeted content, as well as credibility and branding- and hey- we all know that this is the ultimate source of information for students. Welcome .edu links! Great for PageRank.

It goes so far to say that people will trust you more if you are listed on Wikipedia. True? Probably. “Credibility… increases customer and visitor trust”, which may lead to more traffic and a larger audience.

Secondly, it is important to note that Wikipedia is not going to tolerate spammy links. Don’t list spam sites- the editors on Wikipedia never sleep and your link will be flagged and removed within minutes of your edit.

DoshDosh goes on to explain the basics of being on Wikipedia and names some great tricks to getting your link to stick (assuming it is a legit link) as well as ways to watch the progress.

I myself on my own projects (for example: www.casapalmera.com) have gotten 20+ hits a day from Wikipedia pages we have been listed on.
