Hi everyone,
recently I have acquired a pretty large list of expired domains that have wikipedia backlinks, some even had more than one. all of these domains are currently unregistered and i update my database daily with newly expiring ones.
i'm wondering if there's actually any demand for these domains with wikipedia backlink/s? would anyone be interested in buying something like this, or do people nowadays just prefer to buy a wikipedia backlink services instead?

thanks
 
The problem is that all Wikipedia links are no follow as of couple years ago, so what is the value there
 
The other commenters asking 'let me see your domain list' already tell you want you want to know - there's demand... Wikipedia is easily top 3 most trusted site in the world and that trust will be inherited by the said domains. Have you checked the Wayback Machine to see what sites were built around some of them?
 
Interestingly, Google was the original inventor of the nofollow rel tag, introduced back in 2005 as a way to prevent passing link equity or PageRank to linked URLs. While Google takes the nofollow attribute seriously as a directive, most other search engines such as Bing and others pay little to no attention to it.

This means that nofollow links can still carry indirect SEO value depending on the search engine you are targeting. A great example is Wikipedia backlinks... despite being nofollow, they are still highly regarded in the SEO community due to Wikipedia's immense authority, trustworthiness and the referral traffic they can generate.
 
That's kinda niche but also could be a total goldmine, especially since people are always looking for legit seo boosts, so there's probably a market if the prices are right and the domains aren't totally spammy
 
Been playing with a few Wikipedia backlinks in my testing. Honestly, the impact wasn’t earth-shattering, but it felt like a trust signal when the link context was relevant. I wouldn’t chase them as a primary tactic, just test in moderation and focus on content quality first. Anyone else finding value in these vs normal editorial links?
