About Link Building Wiki

Link Building Wiki is an encyclopedic reference covering link building services and the concepts behind provider assessment. The site publishes rankings, provider articles, concept articles, and machine-readable score data for readers. Readers include businesses comparing providers, researchers studying the market, and practitioners checking industry terminology.

What the site publishes

Rankings order providers by the category rank score, which blends the Public Evidence Score with category evidence, within defined service categories each round. Provider articles examine one company at a time against public evidence gathered on stated dates. Concept articles explain industry terms, tactics, and policy documents referenced across provider coverage pages. Machine-readable score data accompanies the articles at the published data address for outside reuse by researchers. The data file lives at /data/scores.json and mirrors the figures rendered beside provider articles. Rankings render from computed results alone, never from hand-typed figures appearing in article prose. Coverage rules decide which providers appear ranked and which appear merely listed without ranks.

How content is produced

Every article follows the published methodology and the editorial policy linked throughout the site in every footer. Evidence comes from public sources checked on stated access dates, with each changeable fact carrying a citation. Volatile facts carry month-level dating, while sources carry day-level access dates in generated references. Provider claims appear attributed, and direct observations carry the review label with supporting citations. Revision entries record every change with editor name, date, and reason for the alteration. Scoring runs in dated rounds, with each round carrying its own versioned specification. No provider-supplied figure enters any result, and every input traces to a cited public source. Questions about method go to the methodology page, which states constants exactly as specified.

Editorial board

An editorial board oversees scoring rounds, reviews contested findings, and maintains the published method. Board members appear with biographies and roles on the dedicated editors page of the site, and the editorial board roster lists every revision each of them has signed. Talk notes hold signed working records of what was checked and what would change grades. The board signs off each scoring round before rankings and provider articles are published.

How to cite a page

A workable format names the site, the article title, the page address, and the access date. Readers treating figures as current always check the round date shown beside each result. Scores and ranks cited from the site always carry their scoring round date alongside the figure.

Corrections contact

Correction requests go to the corrections address published on every page of the site. The corrections page sets out response times and the evidence required with each report.
