This is all well & good ... But there is still something tremendously wrong when the following occurs:

3 well established Wikipedia pages (Wikified quite a while ago), "dead on" topic links from those pages to a website that is 4 years old (same subject, but no duplicate content), Google page caches for the Wikipedia pages updated many times over ... Still no visits from Googlebot (in any form) to the linked site.

Just the Wikipedia links alone bring in quite a bit of visitor traffic from Wikipedia visitors. That in itself says quite a bit. Everyone knows how fast off topic links are killed in Wikipedia. Mine have stayed in because they are directly on topic, use on topic anchor text, and the site they point to contains more in depth information on the same subject.

How can Google NOT consider this relationship relevant?
