I would say that despite the RuneScape Wiki only being topped by RuneScape itself and sometimes the Examiner (loathe them), with over a million page-views a day for the past 3 months, I'm sure SEO is almost as good as it could be. There are a few other sites that have traded links with a few other fansites, although most other fansites and the community of RuneScape feel that there isn't a community behind the Wiki. This makes me slightly sad.

However unlike Blizzard, Jagex puts fansites on four tiers of favoritism, only providing names for their next to lowest category (Silver), url's for those that removing competitor's adverts (Gold) and first-go-to site (Platinum assuming all previous criteria are met) with links from their forums. According to IRC, CC and on-wiki discussions, Wikia has attempted to contact Jagex about improving the way it sees the Wiki at least trice. Albeit nothing will be done until we (the RuneScape Wiki) stop advertising for other games, something Wikia will not abide by due to the profits made from such a wiki. That is the last link exchange that should be made in regards to SEO as we fit all but that one requirement for a higher level of support.

As for Wikia making efforts to affiliate wikis with other sites, I do not see that happening with the RSW. SEO is fine as it is and more limited of an audience than that of an anime or manga related wiki.
