Blue Hat SEO is running an interesting article about how to overthrow a Wikipedia result. The reason for this posting, is that (if you haven’t noticed) Wikipedia almost always ranks among the top results on Google for terms on which it has pages.
The post explains the three reasons for this:
1) The domain authority of Wikipedia.org.
2) Innerlinking amongst other Wikipedia entries boosting the page’s value. <- Particularly the *See Also’s
3) Inbound links from most typically blogs and forums. <- An observant person would not only notice the high percentage of links from blogs/forums in contrast to other types of links but a strong lack of sitewide links from any of those sites.
When you look at it this way, it makes perfect sense that Wikipedia would rank so well. It’s a widely used site and attracts many, many, many links. A good percentage of these are likely quality ones. And the size of Wikipedia itself lends to countless internal links, which seemingly appear on every single entry.

First of all, I am not paid to promote this program. I am just impressed how it helped me submitting my articles and posts to around 48 bookmarks in around 30 to 45 minutes. I am not talking auto-submission here where you click a button then say goodbye. This is still a manual submission where you can actually see your article getting listed and approved by Social Bookmark Sites. [Read the rest of this entry...]
