In an email exchange with Ross Taylor of Alameda Internet Marketing (visit), he surfaced a question I thought more people would have:

I just had a thought – I could see they system being abused by:

Finding wikis approved for dofollow, editing the wiki, and inserting their own links. Is there any protection against that? Or let’s say a wiki gets vandalized, is there revision control to send it back to the way it was before it was hit?

Good point. We look at every edit within 24 hours and revert spamming. It is a pattern that we can usually easily pick out.

It is easy to fix, as easy as it is to edit, so we don’t worry so much about it. Occasionally we deal with a hard case, but usually that cools off when they see they aren’t getting anywhere.

The revision is in ‘more’ next to search in upper right area. Then click on ‘history’. You can revert on individual time date stamped versions.

Make sure to confirm your email and you will be alerted to edits on pages you care about.
