A blog (a blend of the term web log)[1] is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2] Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
As of today, the are almost 15 million register users on Wikipedia. As of 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence. If you think about it, this may be a good time to post your business profile on Wikipedia and if you haven't yet, start a blog using the Wikipedia definition.

Allow me to share this line taken from a reliable source "having a Wikipedia entry for your company that shows up in the search results lends credibility to your organization". So, I think that when you have to optimise your website it's best that you should also provide a unique and informative article to promote your business.
Yeah, right, "post your business profile on Wikipedia" -- that's a great way to get your Wikipedia account blocked and have your company appear on Wikipedia's blacklist. The blacklist, by the way, is publicly accessible and indexed by Google; do you really want to risk having that black mark?
If you want to appear on Wikipedia, you can't be up-and-coming. You must have already arrived, and have independent sources to prove it. Wikipedia isn't anyone's promotion channel.
