Questions about Wikipedia
Is a backlink from Wikipedia worth getting?
Wikipedia scores 1/10 on Link Dilution Score and 3.5/10 on AI Score, ranking #309 of 310 platforms in the FreeMalta leaderboard. Low cost, low risk. Worth submitting, but not a priority.
Is the Wikipedia link dofollow or nofollow?
Links from Wikipedia are nofollow — they do not pass direct link equity for search rankings. This applies a 0.5× penalty in the LDS calculation. Nofollow links still carry value for referral traffic, brand signals and AI entity verification.
How much does a Wikipedia listing cost?
Wikipedia is free to submit to. There is no listing fee.
Why does Wikipedia have a DR of 93 but an LDS of 1?
Domain Rating measures a site's own backlink authority. LDS measures how much of that authority actually reaches you. Wikipedia has an estimated 11,249,983 outbound links, which dilutes the equity passed per link. Combined with the nofollow status, this produces an LDS of 1 out of 10.
Is Wikipedia cited by AI answer engines?
Yes. Wikipedia is one of 15 platforms in the FreeMalta leaderboard with confirmed AI citation status. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews reference this platform when answering questions about companies, products and tools. A listing here feeds directly into how AI systems describe your business — regardless of dofollow status.
