Here is Today’s Tip:

Authority links are extremely important.  This means that you get links from pages that have alot of weight and importance.  Examples would be DMOZ, Wikipedia, Yahoo Directory, etc.  We’ve already covered getting listed in DMOZ, but you may be interested in how to get into wikipedia.  There are a few tactics you may want to consider.  (Keep in mind that Wikipedia has now added the nofollow tag to it’s links.  But it is still getting indexed, and you never know when the tag may be lifted.)

Anyways, you could always try to add your own business or name, but chances are, unless you have some other claim to fame besides real estate, it will probably be removed.  You’ll have a better chance of getting included if you write a great informative article about a topic, and link it in as a resource on a pre-existing article.  Don’t include any advertisements or flashy graphics on the article page as the link will probably get rejected.  (it may get rejected anyway), but that is probably your best shot of getting a link to your website from wikipedia.
