I came across this chart of the 100 (or X – you can configure the number) most popular articles on Wikipaedia.

I thought some more about it and since the vast majority of Wikipaedia’s traffic comes from Google it’s kind of a neat way to categorize keyword concepts.

In fact, they could probably make money selling the data (i.e. which keywords ended up on what pages) to search marketers much in the same way Ad.com/Tacoda/Revenue Science pays publishers to have cookies tagged. The could probably support the foundation just on that. They would never have to show an ad on the site. Also in this case it would have nothing tied to a user, simply the keyword phrases linked to the concepts (a.k.a. Wikipaedia page names), with volume.

Perhaps Mr Calacanis should get on the case?
