Where to get links?

Not strictly true. There is a way that's perfectly ok, but it will take REAL work and it only works for certain topics.

Basically, you have to identify a relevant Wikipedia article that already has a number of quotations with attributions in the form of external links, then author a white paper or case study that would slot into the topic of the article, and pull out a highly relevant quote from the document. You can then embed this additional quote in the Wikipedia article, with appropriate "credit" (i.e. a link back to the white paper page on your website).

However, this will only work for topics where a white paper or case study would be a natural thing to expect, and where you can advance the subject with some genuinely "novel" information that's not just a rewrite of somebody else's article.

Yeah, they are nofollow links as well so probably not worth the time.

It is an effective method of getting past a Wiki page though, get a link from it, it definitely works.

Couple of hours work, 30% more traffic if you are 2nd and they are 1st. (ish)

Not possible in the niche I mostly work in unfortunately. Far too competitive to get away with anything like that for more than a few hours.
