Wikipedia is the most popular organic online encyclopedia, and you can use it to boost your Web site's search engine rankings! Just go to www.wikipedia.com and add your own entry about your business or nonprofit. Read on to find out more.

The easiest way to access the editable section of Wikipedia is to simply search for your organization with Wiki's internal search engine. If there is not already an entry for your organization you will have the option of creating a free account and writing the entry yourself. Be careful not to make it sound like an advertisement or it may be taken down or rewritten, but you can add your Web link, basic information about your organization, mission statement, and other important facts about your firm.

Since Wikipedia is so popular, you will most likely see a noticeable upswing in your Web site traffic soon after you post your entry. Check back to make sure that it didn't get removed or reworded, but the entry you post will go live immediately. However, if it sounds too much like an advertisement, it may get taken down. If this happens you can keep trying until you get it right.

You can also add your own personal autobiographical entry about yourself and other key employees in your firm - all with links to your company Web site. Every reputable external link puts you one step closer to Internet success!

Google rates your Web sites based on the number of external links you have coming into your site from other sites. The quality of the external links is also taken into consideration. For instance, if your site has links coming into it from one or more highly popular sites, Google will rank you higher.
