Backlinking is a continuous process. Every website on the internet strives to get high PR through creating inbound links from credible web sources having high PR and search engine rankings. And often writers and experts talk about creating links through answering questions in Yahoo Groups or creating pages in Wikipedia to increase PR for your website.
But does that really help?
A simple answer is “NO”.
Question arises, “Why?”
Well! here is a simple explanation.
Each outbound link from Wikipedia or Yahoo groups is wrapped in a <rel=”nofollow”> tag for search spiders. Which explicitly tells a search engine to not to follow a link, busting your effort to create an inbound link from wikipedia to increase your site PR.
If you find this information doubtful, go to any web page on Wikipedia and view source of that webpage. All outbound links will be tagged with <rel=”nofollow”>. This simply means that even if you have 100 pages in Wikipedia linked to your website or article. Your PR will not be affected. And same goes with the Yahoo Groups.

Therefore, noble advice is to leave Wikipedia or Yahoo Groups out of your link building campaign and concentrate upon the quality of your content. Chances are very high that even though you get an inbound link from a very high PR website, your own PR will not be affected. This happens when <rel=”nofollow”> plays its role in ignoring that link pointing to your website.
Happy Link Building
