Grokipedia for link building
Posted by on April 28, 2026 at 1:13 amI know that Grokipedia has been discussed here before. But here's what I'm seeing…
- Google Search Console is showing as finding backlinks from Grokipedia on several of my client sites, suggesting that Google can find and follow these.
- Grokipedia links are all "do follow", there is no "no-follow" to be found.
- I don't know yet what positive impact these have on rankings as of yet, probably still too early to measure.
- Grokipedia pages have far more outbound links than Wikipedia, thus PR value for each link is highly watered down.
- But, where Wikipedia links are incredibly hard to get and keep, Grokipedia links are easy.
Obviously you cannot submit links to Grokipedia. You can only publish lots of content (preferably content that is unique enough to cited as a source), and hope for the best.
But as a website developer, and one whose clients pay me for getting them more traffic, I'm incorporating a strategy to write more FAQ pages, more services pages, or whatever based on what the client is about, in order to take advantage of this.

Grokopedia! Cool never heard of it 😎
Are you concerned that adding that content would seem like a spam signal?
Especially if it gets thin. Or off topic?

Hey u/steve31266
Some interesting questions but here’s my 2c
>Google Search Console is showing as finding backlinks from Grokipedia on several of my client sites, suggesting that Google can find and follow these.
There aren’t many links that Google can’t find – it certainly finds more than Bing and way more than SEMrush etc. Bing also hides links it thinks are spammy or ineffective – esp social links
Google however only shares a subset of links – so if there isn’t many it might share all. But dont take it as Google gives authority.
Also – links aren’t like gravitas. Its not whether the site is prestigious. PageRank is a page-level system. If the page doesnt get Google traffic – its not going to pass any – does that make sense?
So – who’s googling your client that they wont be clicking on their site – and where is the page ranking?
This is one of the problems with how people think of backlinks – that having a backlink is something and if the site is “good” then its a good backlink and if the site looks trash, its a bad “backlink”
Backlinks either have 0 value or carry a positive value. And it doesnt matter what the site looks like- it depends on whether the pages have authority or not.
Who is linking to this page?
Why would people be visiting it
That kind of thinking is needed when evaluating links
