+1. I think this would be a very bad idea. If we opened up external links
to Google, I'm sure it would only be a matter of time before spammers
started figuring out how to get revision reviewing rights. It's just a
question of economics. Which is cheaper: Paying an SEO company $5000 to
improve your pagerank or paying a Wiki-PR editor $100 to do the same (and
probably more effectively).
