Wikipedia's Google Penetration

Via ThreadWatch, this study of where Wikipedia pages appear in Google results for a search for that phrase, and found that in about 580 out of 600 randomly chosen Wikipedia pages, the Wikipedia page appeared in Google’s top 10. That’s just incredible, a number we can pretty much point to and show how much power Wikipedia has in Google, with 96.66% of those pages surveyed making it into the top 10. The only ones that didn’t make it:
  1. Veil of Darkness

  2. Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. v. Public Service Commission

  3. Group key

  4. Tacca leontopetaloides

  5. American Culinary Federation

  6. WCTI-LP

  7. Eric Marshall

  8. YAF

  9. Line by Line

  10. Tolleson Union High School

  11. Ken Kocher

  12. Riskbase

  13. Rae Valentine

  14. Fire Prevention Week

  15. Win My Soul

  16. Chewy Granola Bars

  17. United Nations Security Council Resolution 31

  18. A Single

  19. Jean Étienne Bercé

  20. Isaac Fraser

  21. FICA (disambiguation)

  22. Lance Broadway

  23. Victoriana

  24. UC San Diego School of Medicine

  25. Gordon
