Hi warriors,
I was trying to get a wikipedia backlink from a couple of weeks but the moderators don't allow me. Finally i got one in the resource box with anchor text and it is stable from 4 days.

It is super relevant and high authority backlink but As you know all wikipedia backlinks are no follow.I wanna to read some SEOs minds that how much benefits i will get.
Thanks in advance

      Nice to hear that from you..
      If you are old in this game i would like some tips.

      1. There is only one method to get link is to find the opportunity and improve Wikipedia.But how many of backlinks we can get on a single domain safely if all these backlinks are safe individually.

      2. Now i am working on one more high quality no follow backlink site and it seems me easy then wikipedia, will update soon, Can you name me some more sites either here or in pm

    The backlinks of Wikipedia are nofollow, they will be useful to create traffic, they wont help you to rank.

      Nofollow links don't pass PR (link juice) or anchor text (per Matt Cutts, when he was with Google). Wikipedia's are no-follow. Therefore, Wikipedia's links don't help with SEO. (If the page you got the link from has traffic, you'll get some of that traffic. Maybe.)

      Forget high authority, edu and all that.

      First, you need links that don't get the no-follow tag. Then you worry about high authority... But, keep in mind, most pages on high-authority sites have no authority or very little.

    Yes Many benefits of Wikipedia back link.
    Wikipedia is the most famous platform for relevant content.and Thousands of people believe in Wikipedia .and after google trust on Wikipedia for any world information.

    In Google, Wikipedia is everywhere. Pretty much anything you type into Google seems to result in a Wikipedia entry being returned as a top-10 result. Wikipedia’s status in the search engines as an “authority site” is undisputed. Those lucky, well-connected, skillful or famous enough to be cited enjoyed the benefits of Wikipedia’s unique “golden link effect.”

    But One drawback also for back link:

    Then a new policy instituted in January changed all that. As a countermeasure to thwart spammers competing in an SEO contest, all external links within Wikipedia were “nofollowed.” This effectively cut off the outward flow of “link juice” (PageRank) to websites referenced in Wikipedia.
