How to get more traffic to your website using Wikipedia

2 days ago my website got 34,000 hits on a single day, this is more than double the average number of daily hits I used to get in that month.

The hits came from a news article written about my website which was spread out to many other websites, however, after further investigation I found that the person who wrote the news article knew about my website from Wikipedia.

How Wikipedia helped me increase the traffic to my website?

Wikipedia allows you to edit its pages to add your links or to write more about a topic. If your link meets Wikipedia standards the link will be kept, which is something that doesn’t happen in most cases, however the good news is that you can find a less important Wikipedia page that is not updated often so that your link stays there until someone edits the page.

The kind of people who visit Wikipedia are more educated than those who visit social networking websites and sometimes they can spread the word to a more educated community.

Placing a link to your website in Wikipedia will not only bring you very good traffic but it can also help your website or blog get more indirect exposure just like what happened with me.

How to find a suitable Wikipedia page to place your link

If you added your link to a high traffic page in Wikipedia then most likely it will get removed in less than a day if not in few hours.

Instead you should be looking for pages having warnings like “This page needs further editing” or “This page doesn’t meet Wikipedia quality standards”. These pages are rarely checked yet they can bring you as much as 200 visits a day.

If each users viewed 5 pages of your website before leaving then those 200 visits a day will result in 1000 hits!! This is pretty much good traffic from a single link and this is exactly what happened with my website.

Now what can five Wikipedia links do for your website?? A loooooot

Beware of one thing, adding multiple links with the same ip address in the same day will let your activities become noticeable and all your links will get removed. Try to add one link every week and make sure you are using a different internet connection while doing so.
