Using Wikipedia to gauge the popularity of your niche.

I learnt this tip in another thread, but when I run a query at Wikipedia article traffic statistics for the `Top' option, it always gives this data : Most viewed articles in 200808.

Is this the same result everyone else is getting for `Top' ?

(If I just type a keyword that aspect seems to be up to date. It's just the `Top' query that keeps on giving results for 2008 08).

    golf has been viewed 38025 times in 200911. This article ranked 2181 in traffic on en.wikipedia.org.

    Yes it looks like they are a bit behind for their top query.

    I'm not sure how useful this is as their main sources of traffic are not internal but external as a result of search. Few people start searching in Wiki they just end up there.

    Probably a better indicator of what pages on Wiki are ranking in Google and Yahoo. Might be good for trends.

    For example if you search for Sarah Palin she is the #2 entry in Google right after Google News Feeds.
