Re: Naina's comment "...if it becomes notable in any case, you will automatically find a page for it on Wikipedia" -- if you run a small/medium-sized enterprise, I don't think you should be waiting for someone else to magically do your marketing/PR for you.

Wikipedia is different from any other online resource website, it's not a web directory.. Creating a page for a business is as easy as 123 here, but it will soon be removed.
Take a look at the is pageIt belonged to a burger shop, and has now been removed. Wondering why? Wikipedia says - "Expired PROD, concern was: Unreferenced article about a local, five restaurant chain. No evidence of business notability outside its corner of Washington State".
What does that mean for you? Your business must qualify notability to secure a Wikipedia page. Read it here - notability.
If you qualify, are you okay to create one page for you? NO. Read about it here
Your page is considered if it has been created by someone else, not you - sorry.
The gist of the matter is, don't waste your time going for it. Concentrate on your business, if it becomes notable in any case, you will automatically find a page for it on Wikipedia.
Thanks

Wikipedia's resource on creating a page is quite detailed . Link Below
Be sure to add lots of independent references/sources for the content that you post on the page.

Managing 404 Product Pages
Happy Friday! I'm managing an Ecommerce site that has tons of product pages showing up as 404s. These product pages also have ridiculous query strings. I wanted to know how other webmasters deal with inactive product pages. Thanks!

Best French language articles on basic on-page optimization
I work for a bilingual organization and we've recently started more hands-on training for staff and content creators for SEO and content creation. We've put together a good guide in English but I'm hoping we can provide the French speakers with some solid French SEO articles that can help fill in the gaps that we don't get translated. We're looking for a basic guide to SEO, similar to Moz's guide to on-page SEO (in content, doesn't need to be as fancy). Thanks in advance!

What keywords will this page possibly rank for ... tool?
Hi all, I'm looking for a tool that will look at a web page that you submit to it and tell you what keywords it thinks the page is targetted towards and thus hopefully rank for. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Hopefully this type of tool will help us understand why page A is being ranked for keyword X when page B is actually the page that should be being ranked for that keyword. The only tool I have really found so far is http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html I dont want to tell the tool what keywords I am looking at, as with Moz On page grader. Background reason (and possibly some one maybe able to shed some light on this also). We list a group of products... Nextbase Click 9 Lite, Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo and Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo Deluxe. All 3 are similar but very different products and each has its own page on our site. For the keyphrase "Nextbase click 9 lite" currently in Google we are listed for the pages containing the "Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo" and "Nextbase Click 9 Lite Duo Deluxe"... but not the actual specific product page that targets the "Nextbase Click 9 Lite" product. Thus my reason for wanting to try such a tool that may help me understand why this is. Thanks for any hints, tips or pointers.

I changed the {Site Name} of our domain by capitalizing a letter. 48 hours later our SEO rankings are bad. How long does it take to rebound our prior rankings. The {site name} was at the end of every page title.
I changed the {Site Name} of our domain slightly and capitalized a letter. The impact 48 hours later on SEO is really, really bad. How long does it take to recapture our prior rankings and should I change the site name back to the original? The {site name} was at the end of every page title. Thanks for any help/advice on this. We worked so hard to get our business on the first page for many keywords and "POOF" we are gone now.

Google's weighting of Page Load speed
Hey, we recently optimised our website page load speed as part of our overall optimisation. Page load speed according to the Google Developers Page Speed test was previously 51 out of 100 and is now 92 out of 100 and this was improved within the last seven days gradually, cached half way through the improvement process. I appreciate this is regarded as only a small part of the whole process, however, I’d be interested to know if anyone has a concrete opinion/proof on whether such a big improvement would actually make a difference to our rankings in the SERPs.
