Over 50% of Wikipedia’s Traffic Is From Google?

According to this Post from my broadband.co Over 50% of all traffic going to wiki is coming from google searches. I find this amazing as wiki has become a force and a source of great information online.

Here is an excerpt from the article

According to a research report by Pew Internet: “Several Web traffic measuring firms say that Wikipedia is one of the most heavily visited sites on the internet. comScore Media Metrix, the Web traffic measuring firm, regularly says that monthly traffic to the cluster of Wikipedia sites positions them in the top 10 global sites.”

What I found the most interesting is one of the comments on this post…

I think the reason people are clicking on Wikipedia from their Google searches, is that while Wikipedia may not be the best source of information, it has credibility. You wont find a bunch of spam at Wikipedia. There are all kinds of worthless site on the Internet, and people have learned that Wikipedia is not one of them. I’ve also argued that Wikipedia is a type of search engine in its own right, that relies more on humans than Google does. The quality of its links and references on major articles is usually good.

So what can us marketers learn from this?
