Making Money from Wikipedia


Lingo

Wikipedia is a massive online encyclopedia where people can find information about anything: culture and history, cars, technology, sports, celebrities, aliens, medications, plants, cities, whatever.
One of the greatest things about wikipedia is that ordinary people like you and me can add and edit the information that is published on the site and also add relevant links and resources.
As you can imagine smart people can use wikipedia to send traffic and customers to their websites and also to build backlinks and increase their google traffic.

In order to start taking advantage of wikipedia these are the steps you need to follow:
Step 1: Find wikipedia pages relevant to your niche
For instance, if you have a site about golf you are going to find many wikipedia pages which are relevant to sports and golf; if your website is about computers and technology you will find many wikipedia pages which are relevant to that niche.
Step 2: Now you need to explore each of the pages you have found a find out if you can add your own resources or links to your website. This is the toughest part because it is not easy to get by wikipedia moderators. As you can imagine, you must add great quality information. If you decide to post spam you and your IP will be banned from the site.
Step 3: Become involved in the wikipedia community
If you only edit wikipedia articles to add your own business and links, the moderating team will most likely block your ip and delete your account for spamming. The best way to avoid this problem is to get involved in the community. For instance, you can edit and add information to pages that are not related to your business. If you edit a big number of pages and add valuable information, probably your self-serving edits will not be noticed.
