Wikipedia logoConvincing Wikipedia, the largest multilingual free-content encyclopedia on the Internet, to include a page about your company can be one of the best ways to become well-regarded, credibile in the eyes of the search engines and generate tons of traffic.

Yet a listing on Wikipedia is very difficult.  

Ralph Wilson of Web Marketing Today did a video interview with Mike Svatek who passed along six tips on how his company, Baynote.com, got listed on Wikipedia.

Tip #1: When submitting your own copy for a listing, don’t write persuasively.  Just the facts, please. For many of us who write marketing copy almost every day, this feels unnatural, sort of like a right-handed person writing with the left hand. But it works.   

A doggie treat to Publicity Hound Harry Hoover for Twittering about the video.
