Also note that many wiki's, wikipedia included, and discussion boards
use what is known as the "nofollow" tag on links. Basically any external
links in user-submitted content have that tag added which instructs
search engines to ignore that link for search purposes.

This was added after spammers started filling message boards and other
stuff full of links to their crummy online gambling sites...
