GuestDecember 24, 2025 at 8:06 amWiki links won’t boost rankings directly (nofollow), so don’t pitch it as an SEO hack. The value is authority + second-order effects. Wikipedia is a citation hub… journalists, bloggers, educators pull sources from it all the time. That’s where the real links come from.
If your dad adds genuinely unique info, it helps Google associate your site with that topic (entity + co-citation), builds trust in a YMYL niche, and can snowball into natural links later.
Do it sparingly, follow wiki rules, build edit history, cite other sources too. Think credibility compounding, not link juice.
