Google Loves Wikipedia
Have you ever asked yourself how come Wikipedia.com can has so much power to dominating Google SERP in very competitive keywords & why Google gives too much weight to it? The same questions always come to my head, so far no exact answer or the hidden secret behinds it still unrevealed but officially Google’s blog has poured a handful light that: “Regular Users Like Wikipedia!”
That’s what Google told so far and there’s no technical explanations that disclose this dense curtain. IMHO not all information in Wikipedia has relevancy to our search term yet Google ranks them very high, but there’s something that I caught after a few analysis that apparently Google loves a site that:
- Has educational sense, informative and frequently updated, as you can see Wikipedia has met all the requirements, though, it is not a good source for recent news or information, but its idea is providing information that’s where it got authority score from Google and becoming its brand for ages.
- Has solid internal link building, hierarchical structure of Wikipedia, this factor makes it rank so extremely high for nearly every topic you can think of. Wikipedia has a good habit to internally links to every word, every phrase and every page with it’s own page is mentioned.
- Domain aged. Sure domain aged is one of crucial factor to be an authority site at Google’s eyes.
So far that’s all I can tell, you can follow Wikipedia’s approach to get warm attention of Google or use it to win Sulumits Retsambew !
