We have a company page on wikipedia, what is the best way to build backlinks to it? That will not cause issues?
Tried an article on ezine, but we are getting a restristed url as we are linking to an image.

    Isn't EZA nofollow so why would you want that link? It would be a weak link even If it was followed considering nobody would ever build backlinks to the EZA backlink page.

    Are you trying to get the Wikipedia page to rank for your company name? That's the only reason to build backlinks to it, and I'd rather make the actual site stronger.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      Absolutely, part of the branding.

    We can create a page for the main site using Wikipedia but as per your experience from Ezine expect strict rules when it comes to linking and information you will be using in the page. It will take time to moderate your submitted page on Wiki because real people are reviewing your page.

    Solution: Build followed links where the backlink page has it's own supporting link profile.

    That's how pages are ranked, doesn't matter If it's a Wikipedia page or this forum page.
