Wiki-Jacking (wikijacking) is a term that was coined by Rand Fishkin as he built a whiteboard lesson based on my wikipedia internal linking experiment trying to prove my wikipedia thesis.

Wiki-Jacking is simply wikilinking (internal linking) any wikipedia article from other wikipedia articles with the keywords you want them to rank for to make one or even two top spots for wikipedia. This is a white hat tactic (if not used to change the meaning of the original articles in wikipedia) to do negative seo acts against competitors in keywords in which you are running a pay-per-click campaign or just to punish a site you do not particularly like.
