For the short time I was listed, I received eight unique visitors. That's pretty good for about 30 minutes. By the way, my site is purely informational. I don't sell anything, nor do I have any ads. I think I'll throw a quick protest to the editor. Hmm, that’s too bad. For the short time I was listed, I received eight unique visitors. That’s pretty good for about 30 minutes.

The best strategy here would be to make a purely informational site and filter the traffic from there to your other site. I think your site looks too commercial.

I was moving pretty fast. Also, I doubt the topics of "landlord" and "investing in real estate" are being updated 10 times per day. Do you think I'm safe to add them again?

There are specific subjects that are probably more prone to "spamming" and thus more carefully monitored. If you add a link to an entry that gets 10 updates a day, your site better be really damn good. If it gets 10 updates a year, its probably going to stay around for a while.

In less than 10 minutes. Is it going through an approval process or did I do something wrong? My links were on the exact topic of the page.

I thought I heard about them making that policy so as to cut down on spam. While the traffic is nice… aren’t all Wikipedia external links using rel=nofollow now?
