SEO never stops | How to beat Wikipedia with permanent SEO
here’s a good example from a sports injuries site:
Encouraged by some success for searches related to Tiger Woods' knee injury, during the Beijing Olympics Sports Injury Bulletin created a new Olympics injuries category. They wrote articles for athletes with injuries who were expected to make the news. One example being Serena Williams' knee injury and the following grab shows the site coming No.1 on Google for a search with Serena Williams injury.
That Serena Williams page still delivers traffic and it will deliver a lot more when Serena’s injury makes the news again.
Beats Wikipedia too … and CNN, the BBC, USA Today and ABC News
Interestingly, if you search for Serena WiIliams injury, you’ll see that Little Guy Sports Injury Bulletin beats pages from Big Guys including wikipedia.org, encyclopedia.com, cnn.com, bbc.co.uk, usatoday.com, and abcnews. Which is nice. See the following image of the relevant Google results page:
