Why Wikipedia Inclusion Is Important for Internet Marketing & SEO
Wikipedia consistently ranks as one of the top 10 most trafficked sites on the Web. Moreover, critical encyclopedia reviewers have argued that the online, user-generated encyclopedia is "at least as accurate and authoritative as the Encyclopedia Brittannica."
As a result, inclusion in Wikipedia is one of the best ways to increase your website visibility, brand name or business reputation throughout the Web. Do a search for virtually any random topic, and you will likely see a Wikipedia article on the first page of Google search results.
Why It Is Difficult to Be Included in Wikipedia
Of course, being one of the most well-respected and authoritative sources of information dissemination on the Web means that the Wikipedia editorial board can be extremely selective of the articles that "make it in" as well as those which "stay on board." Wikipedia editors and moderators are highly critical and extraordinarily merciless of spam, self-promotion, solicitation or lack of adequate citation - and will quickly delete any articles which appear as such.
Additionally, Wikipedia editors strive for what is called the Neutral Point of View [NPOV]. Articles must be encyclopedic in style. They must contain references to authoritative sources. They must not take a for or against stance on the subject matter, but must remain unbiased, much like a traditional encyclopedia article. In fact, there are pages and pages of editorial guidelines listed on the site. (For an example of the strictness of the Wikipedia editors, see this entry).
For these reasons, getting your article included into Wikipedia - not to mention keeping your article from getting deleted - can be an extremely daunting task. Furthermore, you have to be pretty familiar with Wiki (BBC) code in order to even get your article to display properly. Because of this, businesses and individuals who would otherwise qualify for inclusion are not included simply because they do not know how to write in Wiki code.
