Wikirank is a new tool that shows you what is popular on Wikipedia. The data is based on the Wikipedia servers which is available to the public. On the homepage of Wikirank you will see trending topics for the day, and the most read Wikipedia pages for the last 30 days.

For example, in the last 30 days, one of the most read pages was Natasha Richardson, the actress who recently passed away due to a ski injury. The Wikipedia page for Natasha Richardson was viewed 2,482,209 times in the last 30 days!

Also, when you are on the site, there is a search box where you can search for any name/topic to see how popular the pages are. I did a search for “Google” and saw the following:

This tool is beneficial in helping internet users keep with the current search trends. Wikipedia is one of the top visited websites and the pages rank very well organically (Google loves Wikipedia!). Many Wikipedia pages will rank in the top search results, even higher than the sites that have been working with Search Engine Optimization Professionals.
