Hidden Traffic Secret You MUST KNOW! Using Wikipedia to Drive 167+ Visitors per Day To Your Site

58 replies
Hey guys and gals I know that one of the biggest problems facing new internet marketers is that they simply have no idea how to get website traffic. Its really easy to setup information product website, blogs, and things, but many many courses do not teach you how to get website traffic.

So here is a cool traffic tip that you can use to start driving traffic to your websites. Basically you are going to be leveraging the immense traffic that Wikipedia receives and bringing it to your own websites. Wikipedia links are no follow so doing this won’t effect your search engine rankings, but you will get a boatload of traffic like this.

Here’s how it works:

Lets assume that my product is a guide teaching people how to save money buying used cars.

Step 1) Search Wikipedia for your topic. Find articles on Wikipedia that are related to your niche.

You want to do a little thinking here. What is your target market searching for in the search engines? Since my product is a guide about how to save money buying used cars, I can safely say that my target market is probably looking up specifications on older vehicles.

So for this first step I found a Wikipedia article about a popular model of used car, the Nissan 240SX.

Step 2) Write an article about the subject of the Wikipedia article and post that to your website.

So for this example I could write a short article about the Nissan 240SX. Best of all you can use the actual content on Wikipedia as a guide to write your own article. DON’T COPY AND PASTE THOUGH, IT WILL RUIN THIS METHOD!

Step 3) Edit the Wikipedia article’s external links by scrolling down to the bottom and clicking on edit:



Step 4) Edit the external links by using the syntax below:



Make sure you link to the article thats on your site, so you will not be flagged. DO NOT DELETE EVERYONE ELSE’S LINKS! AND ADD YOURS AT THE BOTTOM!

Step 5) Make sure on your article page on your website you either have a big blatant opt-in box or advertisement for your main product.

Step 6) Wash, rinse, and repeat for as many other keywords that are related to your niche as possible.

APPENDIX: WHAT IF THERE ARE NO EXTERNAL LINKS ON THE ARTICLE? 1st if there are no external links on the article pat yourself on the back because you’ve just found a great berry patch that you can start picking a ton of traffic from. Now what you need to do is scroll to the very top of the page and click on “edit this page”

http://f.imagehost.org/0216/wikiedit.jpg

Then you need to scroll down towards the bottom of the page after all the content and insert the external links category yourself by using the following syntax:

== External links ==

Now you can proceed to add in your link.



Make sure you are scrolled down past all of the content, otherwise you’ll put the links in the middle of the article and this will get your link taken down.

WILL THIS WORK IN HIGH COMPETITION NICHES?

Yes it will. There has been some discussion below about this not working in high competition niches. This is total malarkey. First it will work, if you’re on a really popular article its possible that your links will be removed by other jealous business owners or Wikipedia moderators. However nothing bad will happen if your link is removed.

Like in everything else in internet marketing go after the “low hanging fruit.” You want to find articles that are highly relevant to what it is you’re selling, yet are under the radar of mainstream business owners.

Example#1: You have a investment product. This is a high competition niche. So DO post your link on the main article about investing for starters, if its taken down, SO WHAT! Keep it rolling.

You want to get outside of the box and put on your thinking cap. Why not write articles on the different species of fish that fly fishermen usually target. Post that on your site, then link to that article from Wikipedia.

Think about it for a second. If a avid investor is looking to make a certain type of investment he’s going to want more information on that particular investments. Where will he go to find it? Google! What will be #1 or in the top 10 on Google?

Wikipedia! What will be on the Wikipedia article?

Your link!


WHY THIS WORKS:

This works because Google is in LOVE with Wikipedia, and that site receives so much traffic its ridiculous. People do read these articles and they do click on the external links. You should be bringing them to your site and converting them on your offers!!

ADVANCED METHODS:

Spend some time searching Wikipedia for keywords related to your niche. You’re looking for keywords which have no articles.



If you see that screen above for ANY of the keywords in your niche then congratulate yourself because you’ve just found a literal BERRY PATCH full of traffic ripe for the picking!! You can WRITE THE ARTICLES YOURSELF and put them on Wikipedia, and link to your site as an external link! Wikipedia will ALWAYS out rank Ezine Articles, Youtube, and all of the other big name sites we marketers like to use, and you’re talking about some serious traffic!

That’s it. You can do one of these in 15 minutes with practice. If you devoted just two hours per day to doing this, after a month you’d be receiving thousands of unique visitors per day to your websites!


THE METHOD WORKS! TAKE ACTION AND GET IT DONE!

On a special note: Do not Spam Wikipedia, always add value to the visitors.

Common sense + high value - spamming = success

    I actually just started doing this two weeks ago. It works really well.

    Even some of the articles that don't get a lot of traffic will receives 5 to 10 visitors per day. Still can't beat that for something that takes a minute to create.

        Hi Mate,

        That's a nice step-by-step.

        I've been dong this particular method on my
        niche sites for the last 4 years now and it worked
        back then and it still works now.

        Just make sure it goes to a blog post and not the
        homepage. They'll take your link down if it goes
        to the homepage.

        Hope that helps?

          I'm having trouble linking to an article.

          The URL is correct, but it keeps defaulting to my main page after clicking from the wikipedia article.

          Any ideas?

    I can't seem to figure out how to add an article to a sub category that contains many articles. =/

    FAQ doesn't have how to do this.

    Or, how do you add an External Links section to articles that do not have that section?

    To add external links, include the following:

    == External Links ==
    *[h t t p:// www. your link here. com/ LINK ANCHOR TEXT HERE] - LINK DESCRIPTION HERE.

    { { DEFAULTSORT: ARTICLE TITLE HERE } }


    P.S. Obv don't include all the spaces in the link URL

    I don't mean to spoil anyone's fantastic idea, but I'm one of those boring nerds who is somewhat protective of Wikipedia. I myself have seen some links at the bottom of an article that deserve to be there. They genuinely add to the information contained in the article. I've also seen links that add no value, i.e. spamlinks.

    How long do you think this strategy is going to work before Wikipedia catches on? How long before spammers with no intention of adding any value to one of the greatest sites on the web start defacing it with links to their spam sites?

    Naturally I'm not saying anyone on this thread has any nefarious intentions. I'm sure all of us want to add value to the forums and platforms we get value from.

      Thank you! I debated about posting something like this, but hoped the thread would drop away and not get much attention.

      I work in SEO and web promotion and have for 14 years, so I get the value of building links -- BUT, too many people do it with their head planted squarely in short term benefits and with no thought of long term effects.

      We've seen the same thing in other arenas...

      -- How many forum owners have their forums bombarded by people building profiles they never intend to use with keywords as their username and "profile links" to their crappy sites that no one would link to intentionally? Too many.

      -- How many people have seen crap comments all over blogs? Too many.

      -- Once upon a time, CNN and some of the biggest sites online allowed trackbacks. Many of them don't anymore. Guess why. Spammy links.

      If people bomb Wikipedia with garbage links to affiliate sites with spun content (and every other kind of crap out there) all that's going to happen is that Wikipedia will respond by not allowing new members to post links. And once they do that, people will start hawking wikipedia links on Fiverr.com and every knockoff like it, not to mention in WSO and everywhere else they can - and it spirals downhill from there.

      Watching the link spam spread across the Internet like the plague is the same as those who watched email deteriorate into a spam bin back in the 90s. Eventually a good online resource will turn into the same kind of garbage can as email has become.

      I have only 4 words. THINK BEFORE YOU LINK!

      This is a great comment and I'm glad you raised this point. We as internet marketers can sometimes become our own worst enemies by abusing a good resource until it gets taken away from us. I sincerely hope that every Warrior who uses this technique will be responsible with their linking and create high quality articles to link to from Wikipedia.

      After all, if you spend some extra time making sure the article is well researched and provides good quality information, you will reap infinitely more from that article than 10 crappy / spammy articles.

      Don't worry - Wikipedia caught on to this YEARS ago.

      Following this method is pointless - sure you may get a bit of traffic, but chances are you'll just end up pissing people off, getting the links you put up removed, and getting your IP banned from Wikipedia.

      You may be able to get away with it if you actually put up one or two links to actual useful and relevant content.

      Just try and add multiple links in a short period of time though to content that even MIGHT be seen as promotional (or has promotional links) and see what happens.

      They can easily track the IP addresses of people adding multiple links to multiple pages.

      Being a HUGE user-moderated community, there are many people there who PRIDE themselves on the fact that they can spot people using this method for self-promotion and removing their links and banning them.

      Using a proxy is PROOF that you are just using this method to spam wikipedia.

      How do I know? I use to use this method many, many years ago, before they were very strict about it - and I had my links removed even way back then.

      You've been warned.

    A great OP, but like others I am so worried about the instant traffic Junkie spamming the hell out of a great site and spoiling it for others. If you are going to do this why not pay top dollar for a over 1000 word article from an expert or high research writer. Make sure your content is golden and maybe stay away form
    Step 5) Make sure on your article page on your website you either have a big blatant opt-in box or advertisement for your main product.
    or atleast make it less blatant.... I feel if you get traffic to a high quality page without optins or advertising, your quailty will lead people to look at other parts of your site.

    To make this work you've gotta link to something that REALLY delivers value and is relevant.

    Here's my experience, from a couple of years ago. Things may have changed since then.

    I added my own link to relevant Wikipedia articles. My website was a genuinely good link for people interested in that (non IM) field. My site is one of the oldest (est. 1998) & largest (500+ unique articles I'd written myself) in that field, and I was amazed that it wasn't already included on those Wikipedia pages.

    I actually travel internationally as a guest speak for workshops and panels at conferences on the subject of those Wikipedia pages. One of those annual conferences attracts an audience of 60k people. (Yes, 60,000 people... no typo.)

    In other words, I have pretty darned good credentials. (I'm still amazed that I don't have my own page at Wikipedia. However, don't go looking for me anyway... I write under a pen name. The fans can be a little over-enthusiastic at times, and I value my privacy.)

    The results at Wikipedia when all I did was add my link to about four relevant articles? My links were removed within two weeks and I was advised that I had been listed as a spammer.

    I haven't tried since.

    I'm hoping things are different today, but even so, it's smart to be very careful about how you do this.

    Hey there fellow warriors, thank you for all your awesome comments. I know the concern of spammers taking advantage of a strategy like this, I created my business with one rule: NO SPAMMING!!!!!!! If your going to do this strategy make sure you write and give away AMAZING VALUE, no crappy sales pitches that link back to another sales process. Your gonna want to create incredible content and take them back to a blog post that gives the visitor even more value. Value is King my friends, and the more you give of it the more successful you'll be, so in other words NO SPAMMING Wikipedia, ok?



    Take care warriors.

    It's the same with any method of link building. If you are not actually adding any value to the site you are posting the link on then don't be surprised when your links get deleted. Adding a link to an article on your blog is NOT adding value to the Wikipedia page. Those external links are meant only for the websites from which the wikipedia information has been gathered.

    Not something I would spend much time doing just because the links can be taken from you at any time. I'd rather spend the time building real links that will still be there for years to come.

    This tactic goes WAY WAY back. Totally old school. It works in some topics (fewer and fewer these days) and will be a waste of time in other topics.

    I spend alot of time searching there for missing articles. Works great, but take it slow so you dont get that message. Your work will be lost if they ban your domain.

    Okay, so I bit the bug and thought I'd search for my topic. I couldn't even find links to my field, much less the topic. I went alphabetic, and no titles that start with my field.

    Is this your honey berry porta potty patch, or am I missing something?

    If my topic can be written about, I figure it is a good topic, with lot's of scholarly research and worth inclusion in a knowledge base. I'm not even thinking blatant self promotion, just the extension of knowledge on the topic.

    "Should" I write a worthwhile paper and submit it? Would I be able to get any sort of "reward" in the form of a link that points to my site or a post on my site that gives more information?

    At first I thought this was a good idea. Then I envisioned thousands of IMers going in and adding links and the next thing you know, Wikipedia is loaded with some sites that don't deliver value.

    Above the money, think -- how do you deliver value? Value is what leads to long term success, builds your reputation, helps others. If your site does not deliver value to the article, don't do it.
