[edit] Do nofollow links count?
Im going to do a test on nofollow links here, Since wikipedia has no follow links theoretically I should receive no benefit from it. If I pick a completely random term such as xffxgxgxfxfxdxd and link it to my site we can find out whether no follow actually works.
to see the outcome of this investigation, type xffxgxgxfxfxdxd into google and see what happens.
[edit] Latest update on no-follow links
on my last check at 19:54 UK standard time on July 1st 2007 google responded
our search - xffxgxgxfxfxdxd - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
* Make sure all words are spelled correctly. * Try different keywords. * Try more general keywords.
[edit] your link
Not sure what this nofollow experiment is about so I'm going to take a guess. Your link is subject to nofollow and therefore you do not derive any benefit from it and therefore you can add it to articles. If that is the plan, then I would politely suggest you forget it - your site is not notable and it's inclusion would not improve the quality of any articles and therefore would and will be removed on sight.
If I've got what you are doing entirely wrong, forget I posted this. --Fredrick day 19:39, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] reply to frederick day
This is a more of a general seo experiment based on an article I read. The article suggested no follow links held relevance. Many proffesionals and google insist not. There was one test done for piderman3 but the page itself contained piderman 3 in the word spiderman3 so it wasnt a fair test.
That is why I chose a completely generic term to see if it works. Thus far it has apparently not. The reason I used wikipedia is because wikipedia uses no follow links but hold a lot of weight with google.
If it doesnt have any effect with wikipedia then I very much doubt it has any effect with less influential sites. Therefore in a sense I am using it a constant in my experiment.

- Well that's fair enough - thanks for clarifying that. --Fredrick day 13:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol it has just come up with this page! rather than the link. By the way both MSN and yahoo did not find anything.
[edit] Do no follow links count?
So far no! Conclusively no! This link has been up for a few months now and still shows nothing. Maybe they count if you have that content within your page however without the relevant content as a control I can conclude it doesnt work.
Testing with content is difficult. Since it may just be the content itself which is offering the benefit.
[edit] Conclusion
So having an article in Wikipedia makes no difference to your company whatsoever the only boost is probably to your ego. But if you need your business to be in Wikipedia to give you a boost you need a better business! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.173.171 (talk) 12:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Further Experiment
Another article I read suggested that although no follow links hold no relevance they can cause an unindexed page to be indexed.
These URLS are unindexed at 18:55 GMT on July 11th 2007. Usually it take around 3 months to be indexed. let see if a nofollow link increased speed on indexing.
