anyone?

found few ways to spam wikipedia:

- find pages that never recently modified
- spam chinese/foreign language version


works like charm.

oh yeah....one more things.

fuck the wikipedians.:action-smiley-052:
 


The discussion pages are also worth posting your links on, for the pages that have nazi editors... links on those pages seem to get scrubbed much less often.
 
I know some people are nazis about it, but if you produce a piece of good quality content that has a natural fit in wikipedia, I don't really see the problem with adding it as a link.

I have plenty of links to my sites from wikipedia, but they are always to a good quality, relevant piece of content.

win win.
 
I recently got added to Wikipedia to some articles and I tell you the traffic is sweet :)

Definately worth working my ass off to better my site

They keep removing my links and the links are highly relevant to the content becuase I have ads on my site.

I also put my links up and low and behold got them stripped, so I decided to forget about it, then somebody reinstated the link and badda bing, badda boom I was getting a truckload of traffic

Great tutorials. This is exactly what we were doing at my work...BUT...we forgot to communicate with each other and ended up trying to stuff 17 links in two days and got banned from editing Wikipedia for 6 months. Fuckin' nazis.

And now for a rant:

<-- begin rant -->

Here is my issue with Wikipedia...If you are adding a link to the page and it's relevant, they should leave it the hell alone, but more often than not ours got removed as "Commercial Spam" (I work for an eTailer). What they seem to forget is commerce makes the world go round. What could be more relevant on a page about bean bags, than a link to a place where people could buy a bean bag? Or better yet, a link to a page about bean bag care, that just happens to be on a site that you can buy bean bags at. Whenever I've added a link to a Wiki article, I never thought of it as spam, since I was adding some value to that article. Either by providing an additional resource, or article.

Speaking of 'off-wiki' articles, those fuckers are so self righteous as to say "if its good information it should be added to the content of the wiki article and not linked to". Hello!! McFly!! Ever heard of duplicate content, you stupid fucks!

I hate Wikipedia most days. Until I need to find the capital of Botswana or something stupid. :throwup:

<-- end rant -->

They just don't want people profiting off all their mods hard work, and I agree with them. The whole idea of wikipedia is to provide people with free content, they don't have ads on their pages so why should you have ads on yours and profit from their traffic?
 
I have a page that's highly relevant to the content, but they keep removing my link every time I add it
any suggestions on how I can get it to stay?
should I remove all ads from my site so they don't get upset?
