Proof Google Treating Wikipedia Very Well

Feb 19, 2007 - 7:26 am 5 by

LeeAnn Prescott from Hitwise posted Google Traffic To Wikipedia up 166% Year over Year. She has hard stats that prove what SEOs and Webmasters have been claiming for the past year plus.

She wrote:

The percentage of Google's downstream traffic going to Wikipedia increased by 166% year over year (week ending 2/10/07 vs. week ending 2/11/06). Last week Wikipedia was the #3 website in Google's downstream, after Google Image Search and MySpace.

That is some serious traffic. Is Wikipedia worthy of it?
