Beat Wikipedia in Search Results
Wikipedia page seems unbeatable because of the domain authority of Wikipedia.org. Even though there is nothing we can do about the domain authority, we need to understand the factors helping wikipage to rank higher.
Innerlinking amongst other Wikipedia entries boosting the page’s value.
Inbound links from important blogs, forums and other resources.
Well, now that you understand why its there right up your page, let us now find out the steps to be implemented to beat the wikipage.
Using any backlink analysis tool, for eg: Yahoo site explorer, find out all the pages linked to the wikipedia entry.
Go to each Wikipedia listing and remove all irrelevant references to the subject matter. For example, if the wikipage is about “dog food” but the reference article is about an irrelevant subject containing few words of “dog food”- Delete only the references that are absolutely nothing to do with the wiki article or those that are not in exact context with the wiki article. Try to limit the number of deletions to about three a day. You, however, need to provide valid reasons for the deleted reference.
From backlinks found for the wikipedia entry, separate blogs and forums links, go to these sites and drop a link to your site from as many as you can.
If there are pages positioned above wikipedia, repeat the above steps to find out pages linked to these sites and get a backlink from these sites.
