[Commons-l] How to get your company returned higher by search engines courtesy of Wikipedia

[K P]

Someone recently posted an article about how to use Wikipedia to move
up on Google search engine results.  I had also read another article
on the same topic on a private list serve.

I have now caught what appears to be a publisher using methods similar
to what we've been reading about, being careful not to use their own
in-house computers, creating multiple accounts and IPs to do the work,
adding multiple outside links to legite and related texts and journals
to one article, then making that article a prime see also for related
articles.

Very clever, very well done, if only they had had the patience to do
it a little slower, and use someone a little nicer.  See my post on
AN/I and follow my links for a little insider's view on how to promote
a product on Wikipedia.

PS In spite of direct and quick access to ISPNs and journal links,
this still could be someone who doesn't work for Elsevier, but really
likes their journals and books enough that they would do this.
