Let’s try some wiki-jacking

I’ve got the wiki-nofollow plugin, so I won’t be passing any link juice, but I’m sure some of the people who scrape me aren’t using the plugin. Of course feel free to contribute in a similar fashion to see what happens. Why be jerk and do something like this, sometimes it’s necessary to be jerk and make an example, so things get fixed in the long run. Plain and simple the wiki has to come out of the organic SERP’s (think ASK.com) or lose some of it’s weight in the algo, right now it’s too much wiki too much of the time.

The 5-10 percent of webusers (SEO knowledgeable people) that actually know what the heck nofollow will actually nofollow eachother out and Matt Cutts will get his wish. A world of search results without SEO inputs. We are playing straight into Google’s hands, Michael. Anyhow, that is my two cents. P.S. Fully agreed on wikipedia needing to be out of search results with a place to itself.

Yes, wikipedia is too much present in the SERP’s!
But they are theire and then stay theire whether some folks use a nofollow plugin or not.
Second, i don’t see a reason why i should use a nofollow on wikipedia links to solve a problem of Google(or anyone else). It’s their problem so why should i need to take action with nofollow’s?
Third, why should i nofollow on a relevant link, even if it is one from wikepedia. That’s just stupid if you ask me. It helps determing what your page is all about so a nofollow doesn’t make any sense to me.

are we trying to get wikipedia to rank better for ‘google’ than google?
