Wikipedia provides worldwide visibility for businesses, people, places and events. Boasting 1.78 million articles written in English, Wikipedia is an astoundingly large source of information. According to Alexa’s top 500 Web sites, Wikipedia is the eighth most-visited site, and it offers marketing opportunities for businesses. That doesn’t mean that a business can post an advertisement. By definition, Wikipedia articles must be “just the facts,” so businesses have strict limitations on how they can write about themselves.
