    I don't understand what you mean.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't get indexed in Wikipedia.

    From their site:
    "Wikipedia is an online free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit and contribute to. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has described Wikipedia as "an effort to create and distribute a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest quality to every single person on the planet in his or her own language." Wikipedia exists to bring knowledge to everyone who seeks it"

    You contribute information to it, although I do not know why people would be searching for your name in Wikipedia. It is more like an encyclopedia or a dictionary. :confused:

      You're right, of course. My guess is that Sanjay was asking how to try to get a backlink to his site(s) into Wikipedia ... (this used to be possible, at one time: I think it probably isn't, effectively, any more, after a justified response to widespread link-spamming?). :confused:

    You used to be able to just add your link in the resources section of a wikipedia page related to your site. However, it got abused so I don't think it is possible anymore unless you are one of the authorities on that particular subject.

    If you enter something materially wrong, it could BACKFIRE!!!!! If you enter something too onesided it would be a disservice, etc...

    One person had me look at a document talking about this, to give a review. I PLEADED with him NOT to release it, because I, for one, don't want to see such a great resource FURTHER cheapened by such GARBAGE! It was NOT made to PROMOTE!

    I have known about this for a LONG time, and I have never done it. Unless you REALLY have something to contribute, I suggest you FORGET THIS!
