Hitwise data showed that for the week ending Feb 10, 2007, 70% of Wikipedia's upstream visits came from search engines, with 50% from Google alone. Google's share of Wikipedia's upstream traffic from Google has increased by 19% over the past year at the same time that Wikipedia's market share of US visits increased by 143%.
The overwhelming favorable increase becomes obvious when you do keyword or phrase searches in Google search engine. Wikipedia's top Google ranking is expected to continue this year. With more optimized keywords, no wonder Wikipedia is creating a wave in the web search engine optimization realm especially in Google search results.

I used to be a big fan of Wikipedia until they started making all the links nofollow on their site. Bascially, in the eyes of the search engines, Wikipedia is no longer referencing their sources and isn't giving credit where credit is due. That just isn't right and I hope Wikipedia's rankings suffer.

Wikipedia is a great resource for accurate information and content and I can see why google uses them as a traffic partner.
