How effective is adding relevant citations and links to my websites in Wikipedia articles? I've heard that Wikipedia links are no-follow, so is it just good for driving traffic to the website or is there something more to it?
 
Anyone can create a page on Wikipedia and edit its information, because of it and also because of the size of your site you can find a lot of broken links or information that needs citation / reference. Finding dead links and information that need a reference is actually an opportunity for you to update them and give them your site link. You can use WikiGrabber to register links

Links diversity is an important aspect of SEO. Yes, links from Wikipedia are no-follow but still very value by Google. As Wikipedia pages rank high in search, it leads to boomerang effect in which no-follow links in Wikipedia seem to gain more weight. So, if your link is on that page, it affects your site positively and traffic to your site can surge

The question is how effective....
 
The links are very effective. Google has multiple parameters to rank and Wiki links are important to pass trust. Some media outlets have dedicated wiki teams to regularly update their links.
 
If you get a link from Wikipedia you will also get links from other wiki sites that are scraping content from Wikipedia. In my case they had 0 value on ranking, but they are great for creating diversity.

Im finding from the point of creationg and these wiki copies popping up, avrg ranking are dropping daily. The one page i targetted on my site, has 40 damn links, from 42 wiki subdomains all from the same page.
I did notice a traffic boost when i created the original link on wikipedia.org then rankings started slipping and links inceasing.

Im gna remove the wiki link and point it to buffer. Sick of the dickheads recreating shitty wikis and forcing 20 links to one page..

So nt sure how useful wikilinks really are. Like really. If you create one solid link and get 40 shitty ones as a thankyou. Call it diversity, i call it shit.

Good point, that is why I targeted posts that I do not care about.
 
My man, those links are amazing with a capital ZING but getting those wiki links can be tough as nails cause their mods remove that shit faster than you can blink.



Almost as tough as getting leid outside of hawaii, brothers!!!
