Agreed, the rel attributes don't REALLY help the site that uses them, but they rather "help" some search engines.

But the rel="nofollow" sends a signal of quality, it is like saying that Wikipedia community are unable to deal with simple spam, hence should we no longer "trust" Wikipedia articles. There are much worse things spammers can do than to drop a link.

Wit agrees: I agree with that too, but only 0,01% of people will notice. Googlebot can't be arsed to notice either way, I speculate

Well, it should be a decent benchmark of how important the whole authority site thing is anyways. I do have a very on topic link in there, page current cache date is Jan 15. Will check rankings and see what happens once the page gets re-cached with the no-follows, see if there is any correlation.

I noticed this thread got some attention over at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard

Note: that link is not nofollowed.

The hundreds of links I have gotten in is still worth a lot even with a nofollow. It is the traffic and then there are all of those sites that mirror parts of Wikipedia.
It is still gold, it is still worth the effort.

Centiare may be better than Wikipedia, folks

I hope the folks on this message board realize that Wikipedia (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2007-January/061181.html) literally wishes death upon anyone who tries to add links for SEO purposes.

But, please don't despair. I am co-developing a new wiki directory called Centiare that is proving to me (and I hope proves to others, soon) that because we're employing semantic tagging, we're actually getting BETTER Google search results than Wikipedia gets. In fact, if you search Google for ..."largest commercial printers" Orlando... you'll discover that "Fidelity Press" comes up #2, thanks to a Centiare page about it. But there's no Wikipedia mention. Why? Because Google actually OMITS the Wikipedia result for "Fidelity Press" as a duplicate, we surmise because it "prefers" the Centiare semweb technology over the page from Wikipedia!

People, stop fighting against the children who run Wikipedia, read this (http://www.sbwire.com/news/view/10157), and this (http://www.centiare.com/Centiare:Search_Engine_Optimization), and get your SEO in gear at Centiare. We would WELCOME you -- not figure out ways to ban you.

Your self-serving commercial aside, I have a quick question about your very first post on SEOR... How the heck did you find us?

I found out about your forum because the folks at WikiEN-l mailing list are laughing at you (and linking to you) right now. For the most part, I despise those arrogant children and professors who inhabit WikiEN-l, so I figured, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Yes, my post was self-serving, but I hope you see that I'm also trying to serve the SEO community with Centiare. Do you NOT want to participate in a site that offers better Google search results than Wikipedia?

Greg

They can keep on laughing so long as they keep on linking.
