If you have good content traffic tends to turn into links which tends
to turn into appearing higher on search results.
Wikipedia tends to racnk rather badly on google images searches though
(often ranking below
answers.com)
It's too bad we can't have a meta-list
regarding what should and should
not have nofollow on it, similar to the spam blacklist. Not that the list
wouldn't be abused the same way the spam blacklist is now, but it would at
least work the best of both worlds.
We are not interested in being DMOZ
