[HOW TO] Build Wikipedia Links 2.0

M4XW3LL · Oct 4, 2018

A few years ago, I made this thread on how to build Wikipedia links.

The method still works, but there's a new opportunity for building Wikipedia links.
I have to mention that links built using the old method apart from the authority, are also are getting 100+ referral visits a day from Wikipedia pages.

Wikipedia fixes more than 9 million broken links (404s) by pointing them to archived pages on Wayback Machine:

Code:

Now instead for scraping wikipedia for dead links, you just have to look for web.archive.org

Sure, but the editors might see the web.archive.org pages as legitimate since they are still accessible.
Have you had luck changing those?

I have not tried yet.

I was very surprised how long you talked about the path to the wiki
2 months ago I read about this method in another source, and it was a hyip that this is a new and cool idea

I translated your post.

All joking aside, could you please speaking in English on the forum? We have an English-only policy here.

Have you ran into any issues with Wikipedia from this? I'm surprised they link to wayback machine.

Thanks for the share buddy. How do we check if Wikipedia is linking to archive pages on web.archive.org

archive.org will be in the URL mate, so you could check it manually, or probably still scrape it, but I'm not really into that.

Glad you are still active, your old threads are helpful, nice read old days. I already read that news you posted 2 days ago, but no idea how to utilize, and in my opinion, it becomes more and more hard to get wikipedia links, since official mxtherfucker bots there, 24/7...

It's not easy, but it's possible. As said in my OP, even the old method still works like charm, but it will be harder to find dead links with archive.org stepping in, so I had to adapt to the changes and add a twist to it.
