Sage Blogger: Wikipedia’s Nofollow and SEO

  • Sam Harrelson · 2 years ago
    Good insight.

    I need to look into the SEOmoz site to see how the nofollow fad could really shake things up.

    Thanks, Vlad!

    I was trying to look it up myslef few minutes ago, but their page strength tool is down. Maybe they are already working to adjust this recent change. If I remeber correctly the value of Wikipedia at SEOmoz was quiet big. I believe my blog had about 1000 incoming links according to Yahoo! and SEOmoz attributed only about 20% on their scale. While only one link from Wikipedia would give you a whooping 40% or so.

    I have often questioned the value of Wikipedia off-site links and this just confirms it. However, a nofollow link from there could still potentially drive traffic to your website, so it may still be worth pursuing as a link building strategy.
